ITI Welder is designed to build job-ready skills for industrial welding, metal joining and basic fabrication work. The course focuses on practical workshop training along with essential theory such as welding metallurgy basics, joint design, material identification, electrode/filler selection and quality inspection. Students practise common operations like edge preparation, tack welding, fillet and butt welds in different positions, gas cutting, grinding and finishing. The curriculum also introduces workshop calculations, measuring tools, fitting practices, and occupational safety including PPE use, fire safety and safe handling of cylinders and electrical equipment. Many institutes align training with NCVT/SCVT standards and include employability skills such as communication, teamwork and basic computer awareness. After completion, candidates can work as welders, fabricators or helpers/assistants in workshops, plants and project sites, or pursue apprenticeship for advanced exposure. The trade also supports progression to higher vocational/technical pathways in allied fabrication and maintenance roles.
