Welding Training – Welding Laboratories
In close collaboration with the Greek Welding Institute (WGI), welding workshops are conducted daily, Monday to Friday, from 09:00 to 17:00, offering flexible and personalized training in modern facilities. Participants may attend individual practical training sessions or complete the practical training required for the award of the International Welder Diploma.
Our philosophy is simple:
Every welder learns what they want, how they want, and in the time they need.
Flexible Training Options
Participants can choose:
- Training duration: Daily (8 hours) or 5-, 10-, or 20-day packages at a discounted rate.
- Training format: Individual (fully personalized) or Group (ideal for workshops/companies).
- Welding method: SMAW (electrode), TIG (GTAW), MIG/MAG (GMAW/FCAW), Oxy-fuel.
- Weld type: Butt or fillet welds on sheet metal and/or pipe.
- Welding position: In any position, depending on the requirements of the professional field.
What’s included:
✔️ Consumables & materials (metals – base materials, consumables, electrodes, wires, gases)
✔️ Personal Protective Equipment (mask, apron, gloves)
✔️ Supervision & guidance from experienced instructors
✔️ Access to state-of-the-art laboratory equipment
✔️ Notes and educational materials for theory … in practice
Training in the laboratories harmoniously combines theoretical instruction with practical application. The necessary theoretical knowledge is not taught in isolation in a classroom, but is provided gradually during hands-on practice so that trainees fully understand the principles and procedures they are applying.
In this way:
- Learning becomes interactive and accessible, avoiding the formal and often tedious nature of traditional theory.
- Participants gain a holistic understanding of welding techniques by combining knowledge with hands-on experience.
- Active participation and long-term retention of knowledge are encouraged.
