Welding Training

Rail welding training teaches proper techniques and best practices for achieving consistent and high-quality welds, which are essential for ensuring the safety and reliability of rail systems. Attending rail welding training can help develop skills and knowledge in this field, increase employability and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.

CERT offers tailored courses to meet your business requirements.

  • Aluminothermic Welding – THERMIT procedure
  • Aluminothermic Welding – RAILTECH procedure
  • Electric Welding (Standard carbon only)

TLIW0004 Grind Rail and TLIW0006 Heat & Cut materials using OXY-LPG equipment for the rail industry can be offered as standalone courses.
