Construction and Engineering

The EAL Level 1 Award in Introductory Welding Skills is a Vocational Related Qualification (VRQ). It has been specifically designed for those who are interested in pursuing a career in the welding engineering sector. The qualification provides learners with a broad-based introduction to the practices and processes relating to metal inert gas welding, skills. It also develops the learner's personal skills and attributes that they need in order to develop confidence in their ability to work, learn and achieve their full potential at Level 1. It takes a hands-on approach and covers basic knowledge and skills required by someone preparing to work in the welding engineering sector.

This course is designed for individuals who need a CSCS labouring card to secure employment in the Construction Industry but currently lack the necessary qualifications.

On successful completion of the course you will gain two accredited certificates and a score report:
- AIM Qualifications - Suite of Vocational Pathways Qualifications (AIMVOCs) in Construction and Building – Extended Award Level 1
- AIM Qualifications - Health and Safety in a Construction Environment Level 1
- CITB Health, Safety and Environment Score Report
Once you have achieved all assessments, we can then apply for your CSCS labouring card.

The course is fully funded for learners who are 19+, unemployed and looking for employment. Funding is also available if you are working but earning less than £25,000 (evidence required).
If you are not eligible for funding at this time, we can talk to you about different options. Please call 01254354423 and speak to Richard Dwyer.
