TRAINING METHODSWelding training is skills-based and continually updatedto reflect the best industrial practices. We follow specificperformance objectives and courses are designed to meetspecific criteria for each phase of training. We use fourproven strategies to teach welding:types of welding performed on the job. Reference contactinformation must be sent to the Institute at least 2 weeksprior to the start of class.Demonstration to model proper techniqueStudents enrolling in individual courses also have the optionof utilizing welder qualification and welder certificationrecords. Students attempting to utilize these records mustsend copies to the Institute at least 2 weeks before the startof their scheduled course. The records will be reviewed toensure they meet or exceed the prerequisite testing criteriafor the desired course.Supervised individual practice with one-on-oneinstructor coaching to give students an opportunity toincorporate new skillsOnly one attempt to pass a prerequisite test will be allowed.Prerequisite testing is scheduled during the week before thestart date and must be completed prior to the start date.Systematic practical and written testing to ensure thatstudents have mastered key concepts and skills. Weldtesting (fracturing, bending or sectioning) is a major partof each skill course to help overcome the fear of on-the-jobqualification testsNote: Any student failing a course is not permitted to doprerequisite testing in lieu of retaking the course.Lecture/discussion with audio visual aids to introducekey conceptsCLASS SIZEAverage class size is approximately 18 students per instructor.Classes exceeding the ratio of 18:1 may be assigned an additional instructor depending on the duration of the class, totalnumber of students, and the course outline.Lecture based courses within the accredited programs that donot require individual booth space will not exceed 48 studentsper instructor. Any lecture based course utilizing the weldinglabs for a portion of the training will have additional instructorsassigned as necessary.TRAINING HOURSThe classes operate on a 35-hour week, Monday throughFriday. Hours of attendance for day shift are 8:00 a.m. to4:00 p.m. with one hour for lunch and two fifteen-minutebreaks.

Courses offered at Hobart Institute of Welding Technology(HIWT ) teach welding techniques and develop themanipulative skills required for each major welding process.Welding technique is stressed above welding theory – as thestudents must be able to meet the welding performancedemands of industry. Consequently, a minimum amount ofcourse time (10% to 20%) is spent on book and classroomstudy. The remaining time is used for supervised weldingpractice.WTB201ADVANCED BLUEPRINT READING2 WEEKS 70 CLOCK HOURS 7.0 CEUTUITION 975.00 BOOK FEES 90.00Students may take courses to develop skill in one majorprocess – or, in order to achieve broad welding skills, maytake courses in multiple areas of interest.No audio or audio-visual recording of classes will bepermitted.
