Services - Education and Training
The Institute operates in the sector of education and training in welding at all levels and it is the unique national authorized body to release the European Welding Federation (EWF) and International Institute of Welding (IIW) qualifications.
Training of welders and nondestructive test operators is an historical activity performed by the Institute.
Since 1952 the specialization courses of the Institute have trained thousands of specialists for any industry’s sectors.
Within this activity the Institute organizes also other kinds of courses for the theoretical and theoretical-practical training of personnel operating in sectors where particular specializations are required. All types of courses can be performed, on request, also at the customer’s location in English language too.
