TESDA Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) NC II in the Philippines

The person who operates welding equipment to connect metal components together using metal inert gas is called a Gas Metal Arc Welder. A very complicated yet challenging job as it requires 100% of your attention because of its dangerous super-heated metal. On the other hand, upon enrolling in this kind of course, we may get to know how to read blueprints, basic math, metallurgy and a basic understanding of electricity. Interesting, right?

Gas Metal Arc Welding will also help us in the application of welding carbon steel pipes components with the use of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) equipment.
