About this course

This course introduces MIG, TIG, and stick welding techniques, starting from the basics. It is designed for those new to these processes, including electricians needing practical skills. The program is structured into theoretical and practical modules, with guided exercises to develop hands-on ability. An integrated AI system within the course suggests optimal welding parameters based on material and thickness, simplifying the setup phase. Please note that this course provides practical training and does not replace mandatory courses, official certifications, or the advice of a qualified professional.
