News & Insights into Weld Australia’s Training & Certification Weld Australia Launches Online Courses for Welding Supervisor AS 2214 and AS 1796 Certificate 10 Weld Australia recently launched a new online training course in line with AS 2214 Certification of welding supervisors - Structural steel welding and AS 1796 Certification of welders and welding supervisors - Certificate 10. The course proved to be extremely popular, and sold out in record time. Luckily, we’ve got another course starting in July. So, if you missed out the first time around, make sure you enrol now. The new online format makes training more accessible, particularly for people in remote and regional areas, who are unable to attend faceto-face courses. Weld Australia’s online learning platform, Moodle, stores all recordings and other content for students to access around-the-clock. This gives students the opportunity to learn at their own pace and revise the pre-recorded material several times before an examination or hurdle task. The interactive nature of Moodle assures students of what work has been completed, and any upcoming requirements. Importantly, Weld Australia’s online training includes live lectures, which have a mandatory 70% attendance rate requirement. Our combination of pre-recorded, self-paced learning and mandatory live lectures ensures that students still have the opportunity to interact with their peers and teacher in real-time. The live lectures provide the perfect opportunity for students to clarify any course materials or problems and ask questions. In addition, Weld Australia’s new online courses are run over a longer period of time, with only two lectures per week. This gives students the opportunity to attend the course without having to take weeks’ worth of leave to attend each module.
