    EngEPA Level 3 Multi-Positional Welder EPA - Core Content

    This element assesses the integrated understanding of welding principles, including metallurgy, welding processes (MIG, TIG, MMA), and health and safety, and their application to produce sound welds in multiple positions. The core content ensures candidates can interpret engineering drawings, select appropriate parameters, and demonstrate manual dexterity to meet quality standards across a range of joint configurations. Successful apprentices will evidence competency through practical tests, oral questioning, and portfolio review.
