Pipe Welder Apprenticeship - Level 3

Pipe welders work in various sectors, including construction, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and power generation. They use different arc welding processes to join materials like carbon steel and stainless steel. Their work ensures high-quality welds for safety-critical applications. They interact with various professionals and work in diverse environments, from workshops to oil rigs. Pipe welders are responsible for the safety, quality, and accuracy of their work, following detailed engineering specifications. Their role is essential for major infrastructure projects.

Employment in a suitable role for the chosen apprenticeship is essential. Northern Skills Group will work with applicants to help find a suitable employer where possible but we advise anyone looking to undertake an apprenticeship to actively seek employment for themselves.

Applicants are required to have gained a Level 2 English and Maths (GCSE Grades 9-4 / A-C). Certificates will need to be produced at enrolment. If proof cannot be produced or you do not meet these entry requirements, then applicants will be invited to complete an initial assessment prior to acceptance. An interview will take place.

If you do not have a grade 9 to 4 in English and / or Maths (grade A-C for previous GCSE measures) you will be required to continue studying these subjects.
