Advance your welding skills to AS1554 GP/SP standards with our specialised training program

This training product is aimed at existing trades people looking to upskill or participants who are wishing to complete either one or both welding units to AS1554 GP/SP welding codes.

The course will be delivered on campus in a simulated workshop environment that reflects real industry conditions. While some theory will be taught on site with experienced teachers, the main focus will be on practical, hands-on training to meet the AS1554 welding standards.

The course runs over 3 weeks on campus, with 20 hours of off-campus study. Students will be required to complete theoretical components independently off-campus and carry out practical tasks on campus in the metal trades workshops which replicate industry best practice.

Fees, payments and other costs

Your tuition fees cover the basic materials needed for your course, but may not cover items such as text books, workbooks, uniform, online learning resources or personal protective clothing. Depending on your course, there may also be other expenses that you need to budget for.
