TESDA Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) NC II: A short course offered by TESDA

Another kind of Welding course is offered by TESDA: Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) NC II which trains you in welding carbon steel plates and carbon steel pipes components as précised by design, blueprints, diagrams, work order, welding process or practical directions using GTAW equipment.

It is almost the same as Shielded Metal Arc Welding but different in equipment and procedures.
