EXPERTS TO THE WELDING INDUSTRY

IMG_8684.JPG

Marex Subsea Welds Training Center is the unique center certified by ABS Academy - Maritime Education and Training Courses (G-CMET).

 

This constitutes an innovation in the Diving Industry. In an industry framed by rules that are ever-changing Marex differentiates itself through the tireless pursuit of innovation and investment on knowledge.

We continually adapt to the changing world in which we operate and we believe that innovation is a key component to being in a field with such global implications. 

 

After having successfully completed the course, the Student between others, will receive a Certificate with the ABS Academy Logo which will enable him as a Diver/Welder to work easier in the worldwide Shipping Industry and become accepted by all major Classification Societies.

The WeldCraft-Pro® is a bespoke welder-diver training course that is available, to approved schools, under Speciality's Enterprises teaching programme and comes with a certificate of verified achievement issued by EAL. Mr. David Keats is the author of WeldCraft-Pro training programme and managing director of Speciality Enterprises. 

 

EAL is part of SEMTA - Sector Skills Council for Science, Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies and is UK’s leading awarding-body for engineering qualifications. This certification provides independent, quality assured, audited controls for the WeldCraft-Pro® training programme, thus, making it the only externally awarded underwater welding training programme to issue internationally recognized/verified qualifications anywhere in the world. More information about EAL and SEMTA can be found here.

 

The programme is also recognised by IMarEST, The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology. The  training course is based on an 80 hour working programme, split over two phases (dry and wet). The course is open to both non-welders and welders alike and follows the guidelines for The European Welding Federation (EWF) syllabus 570-01 for fillet welder - plate (see course syllabus for full details). 

​

The WeldCraft-Pro® uses a well proven, detailed documented methodology, utilizing our professional teaching materials, expertise and accreditation, but using our own approved instructor(s). This allows us to run a recognized-verified welding programme, using approved teaching materials, delivered through our school and staff, which results in internationally recognized certification, issued under our Test Center status.

Underwater Welder Training - Individual Diver Application

If you are interested in underwater welding read on. Learning to weld underwater has never been easier and ‘NO’ you don’t have to be a skilled welder to benefit from our training. Although underwater ‘wet-stick’ welding is manual metal arc (MMA) welding, we can teach you the skills more quickly and effectively, as the techniques used are far less involved than with conventional dry (MMA) welding.

 

Course Outline

A highly specialised training programme, designed for commercial divers serious about obtaining high quality MMA welding skills both above and below waterline. The course follows the guidelines as stated under the International Institute of Welding (IIW) and the European Welding Federation (EWF), with qualifications being awarded in accordance with BS EN ISO 15618-1 and/or AWS D3.6M-2017 for fillet welds on plate. The training is designed to equip commercial divers with all the skills necessary to produce high quality fillet welds. Students will also cover all the relevant theory associated with the MMA welding process. Each specific topic is covered by a lecture where the learning outcome is clearly identified.

​

Content

An intensive two-week, closely supervised course, providing both theoretical and practical hands-on experience for both wet and dry welding. The course consists of a series of lectures together with written and practical assignments and ultimately culminates in an end of course (closed book) examination and fillet welder qualification test. The practical exercises concentrate on developing the skills necessary to produce high quality defect free fillet welds, and the theory is covered by a series of lectures.
