Metal Works
The sweeping introduction of Automation and New Technologies in the field of technical works and specifically in metalworking (steel, iron, aluminum and their alloys) has created the need for a high level of specialization, specialization and expertise of metalworking professionals. In a demanding market in technical work, the worker is called upon to prove through the certification process that he has the necessary specialized knowledge and skills to avoid accidents and injuries in the particularly dangerous branch of metalworking. At the same time as the supply of certification, the professional communicates his high professionalism and the quality of his work, satisfying even the expectations of the most demanding customer, who will now look for certified craftsmen in the labor market for cooperation. Metalworking specialization certification will allow the worker to develop experience and skills, improving production efficiency and quality. It also ensures the safety of the project.
Overall, the certification is useful to the metalworking professional as it will provide employment opportunities, up the income ladder, and covers specialties such as:
Plate Fitter Technician, Welding and Metal Cutting Technician, Piper Fitter Technician, Metal Cleaning and Painting Technician, Machine Tool Technician, CNC Operator, Technician of Elastic and Thermoelastic Welding and Epoxy-Acrylic Resins, NDT – Non Destructive Testing, Aluminium-iron construction technician
