Welding
Welding is one of the standard diploma programs offered by MCTC. This indicates it's a comprehensive program rather than a short, introductory course. It is designed to meet the existing and future needs of the construction industry in Saudi Arabia. This means the curriculum is likely practical and aligned with the skills employers are seeking.
Maharat emphasizes "Skilling Innovatively." In the context of welding, this could mean incorporating training on modern welding techniques.
Comprehensive Training: The training at MCTC, often spanning around 12 months for sponsored Saudis, aims to equip trainees with essential job skills, safety awareness, discipline, and professional work behaviors. This suggests the welding course would cover not just technical skills but also workplace readiness. Welding programs generally cover:
- Different welding processes (e.g., SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding)
- GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding/MIG)
- GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding/TIG)
- FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding)).
- Welding safety practices.
- Understanding welding symbols and blueprints.
- Welding different types of metals and joints.
- Welding in various positions (e.g., flat, horizontal, vertical, overhead).
- Weld inspection and quality control.
Passion and willingness to be a pioneer in construction industry.
There's a noted demand for skilled welders, particularly in areas like pipeline construction (e.g., "6G welding course"). MCTC's programs aim to fill this gap.
Accreditation/Endorsement: Maharat offers NOCN (National Open College Network, a UK-based awarding organization) Endorsed Programs, and an "Associate Diploma in Welding" is listed among them. This suggests a certain level of quality and recognized standards
