Welding Tickets - Weld Training To AS1796

Prepare for certification under the AS1796 standard with 40 hours of guided practical training at Chisholm Institute. This course is designed for those seeking to enhance their welding skills and become certified in one of the AS1796 welding tickets (Certificate 1-9).

Practical Training
Chisholm delivers 40 hours of hands-on welding training before students undertake their final practical exam with Weld Australia. You’ll receive personalised instruction and feedback from expert trainers, improving your techniques to meet the stringent requirements of AS1796. During the course, you’ll nominate a specific welding ticket to focus on, with the following available:

• Ticket 1: MMAW on carbon steel plates with rutile & general-purpose electrodes.
Welding positions: PC (2G), PE (4G), PB (2F), PF (3F).

• Ticket 2: MMAW on carbon steel pipes with rutile & general-purpose electrodes.
Welding positions: PC (2G), PH (5G).

• Ticket 3E: MMAW on alloy steel plates with low hydrogen electrodes.
Welding positions: PC (2G), PE (4G), PB (2F), PF (3F).

• Ticket 4: MMAW on alloy steel pipes with low hydrogen electrodes.
Welding positions: PC (2G), PH (5G).

• Ticket 5: Gas tungsten-arc welding (GTAW) for root run and MMAW using hydrogen-controlled electrodes on alloy steel pipes.
Welding positions: PC (2G), PH (5G).

• Ticket 6: Oxy acetylene welding on carbon steel pipes.
Welding positions: PC (2G), PH (5G).

• Ticket 7: GTAW on carbon steel pipes.
Welding positions: PC (2G), PH (5G).

• Ticket 8G: Gas metal-arc welding (GMAW) on carbon steel plates & pipes.
Welding positions: PC (2G), PA (1G), PB (2F), PF (3F).

• Ticket 8F: Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) on carbon steel plates & pipes.
Welding positions: PC (2G), PA (1G), PB (2F), PF (3F).

• Ticket 9: Submerged arc welding (SAW) on carbon steel plates.
Welding position: PA (1G).

Key
PA(1G) = Flat butt weld PC(2G) = Horizontal butt weld
PE(4G) = Overhead butt weld PB(2F) = Horizontal fillet weld
PF(3F) =Vertical fillet weld PH(5G) = Multiple position butt weld

All materials used during the course will be mild steel 250 grade.

Entry Requirements
To enrol, you’ll need to meet one of the following criteria:

With Trade Certificate: 150 hours of documented welding experience.
Without Trade Certificate: 300 hours of documented welding experience.

Evidence of experience can be provided via a certified employer letter detailing your welding work, including the process, types of joints, material thicknesses, and welding positions.

Practical Exam
Following the course, you will complete a practical examination conducted by Weld Australia at a Chisholm campus.
An additional fee is required for this exam.
If you haven't completed a prior welding ticket, you'll also need to sit the theory exam.
