More about the program
The course covers the full range of welding technologies: manual arc welding, MIG/MAG shielded-gas welding, TIG and gas welding. Trainees study materials science, welding-parameter selection, and edge preparation for joints.
The hands-on portion takes place in an equipped welding workshop: each student works on real equipment under a training master, practicing horizontal, vertical and overhead welds, and learning to diagnose and fix defects like porosity, incomplete fusion and cracks. A separate block covers safety when working with high temperatures, electric current and pressurized cylinders.
Graduates can optionally add a marine-welding endorsement — a valuable qualification that opens the door to Odesa's shipbuilding and repair industry, one of the best-paid in the region.
