DANEST WELDER TRAINING AND TESTING CENTER (DANEST WTTC-TAKORADI) Is operated by the limited liability company, Danest Engineering Company Limited, as a co-educational skills training center that trains men and women for challenging careers in welding. DANEST WTTC-Takoradi recognizes the fact that every student is an individual with different learning ability and potential. Every effort is made to individualize the training and maximize the skill potential of each student.

DANEST WTTC-Takoradi staff is committed to ensuring the success of each student. The programs/courses at the center are designed to prepare the student for employment opportunities within the career field. All of the programs/courses given at the center are selected and scheduled to contribute to that objective. Surveys of the industries which employ qualified skilled welders are conducted to determine what changes or modifications should be made in our training. Policies of DANEST WTTC-Takoradi are determined to a large extent by the requirements of the employers who hire such welders. These policies are administered within the framework of regulations set forth by various clients and certification bodies such as AWS, ASME and ISO BSEN. We also train to meet the requirements of internationally accredited inspection and certification bodies such as ABS, DNV, Applus Velosi, BV and Lloyds British.

The Combination Structural and Pipe Welding Program (our flagship welding program) emphasizes steel welding; however, all students are expected to become proficient welders on nonferrous materials such as aluminium. Primary focus is on making X-ray quality welds utilizing stick electrode welding: students train on SMAW. (Stick electrode), GMAW and FCAW (wire feed processes), GTAW (TIG) and Oxyacetylene cutting.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS Physical requirements of the occupation are the ability to lift 45 kilograms, carry 23 kilograms, stoop, kneel, crawl, walk, and stand continuously. The student must have the ability to manipulate various types of welding equipment and welding processes, which require the ability to manipulate welding fixtures, place material in fixtures above your head and weld in various positions for extended periods. Welding requires good hand-eye coordination and eyesight corrected to 20/20 with excellent depth perception. We strongly recommend an eye examination prior to enrollment so that corrective lenses or glasses may be obtained prior to the start of class. A senior high school certificate or higher is preferred but not necessary for individual courses. However, you must have a minimum of Senior High School certificate to be eligible for the Combination Structural & Pipe Welding and Structural Welding Program. (Programs 1 & 2)

Download and submit filled enrollment application forms to DANEST-WTTC-Takoradi at least 4 weeks before your start date. Classes start every MONDAY. 8am – 4pm

TECHNICAL COURSES Technical training at the Danest Engineering Co. Ltd is designed to provide training for personnel involved with welding support groups. Those who need a practical working knowledge of welding - such as engineering, quality control and management personnel - will find these one and two week courses very beneficial. The courses are comprised of approximately 80% classroom lecture/discussion and 20% laboratory demonstration. These classes are not designed to teach the participants to weld. Courses are available to provide either a generalized background - or to target specific areas related to welding.

ARC WELDING INSPECTION & QUALITY CONTROL 1 WEEK 40 CLOCK HOURS TUITION GHC 2,500 Quality control personnel must have a solid background in welding defect analysis and weldment testing. This course can help provide that background and assist in establishing a weld quality control program and/or add support to an existing program. Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to assist in implementing the inspection technique or techniques that will best suit the company’s needs. This course has at least five hours of assigned homework. Course content: • Introduction • Visual inspection and lab project • Overview of an inspection and quality control program • The non-destructive testing methods • The welding inspector • Liquid penetrant & magnetic particle inspection • Welding codes, procedures and welder qualification • Ultrasonic inspection • Welding symbols • Non-destructive testing lab • The arc welding processes • Radiography • Weldment discontinuities/defects • Destructive testing

WELDING TECHNOLOGY & BLUEPRINT READING (WT&BR) 1 WEEKS 35 CLOCK HOURS TUITION GHC 2,500 The objective of this course is to develop a practical understanding of welding with regard to welding processes, and auxiliary welding equipment for the welder. Also, to develop a technical

understanding of the information contained on engineering drawings and the use of the information to communicate set-up and welding instructions from the designer to the welder and fitter. Course content: • Welding safety • Mathematics and metric conversions • Welding terms and definitions • Orthographic views / engineering drawing lines • Weld defects and discontinuities • Relationships of surfaces, edges, centrelines • Welding processes • Bill of materials / set-up tools • Symbols for welding (AWS A2.4) • Fabrication of a weldment from a print.

WELDING INSTRUCTOR COURSE [1 WEEK 40 CLOCK HOURS TUITION GHC 2,500] In designing this curriculum, every attempt has been made to develop a course that will meet the needs of vocational and technical teachers. The course objective is to increase each Instructor’s knowledge of welding and welding related subjects. The time will be spent in both classroom theory and “hands-on” practice for the major arc welding processes. This course has at least five hours of assigned homework. Course content: • Introduction • Gas tungsten arc welding • Welding safety • Power sources for welding • Shielded metal arc welding • Welding fundamentals • Gas metal arc welding • Communicating welding information • Flux-cored arc welding • Weldability of metals

FUNDAMENTALS OF VISUAL INSPECTION [2 DAYS 14 CLOCK HOURS TUITION GHC 2,000] This course concentrates on the single most used method of welding inspection - what we can see with the eye. Anyone involved with arc welding inspection, quality control, engineering or supervision should know the fundamentals of what to observe, “prior to”, “during” and “after” welding. During this course you will spend time in the classroom and then in a “hands-on” lab session for actual practice. Course content: • Description and functions of common weld gages • Terminology of weld defects • Temperature indicators • General requirements for • Prerequisites workmanship standards • Visual Inspection prior to welding • Making repair welds • Visual Inspection during welding • Visual inspection checklist • Visual Inspection after welding • Welding codes, procedures • Equipment required and procedure qualification

WELDING FOR THE NON-WELDER [4 DAYS 28 CLOCK HOURS TUITION USD GHC 2,000] This course gives the non-welder a solid background and overview of the welding field along with some hands-on experience with the major welding processes. Purchasing agents, plant managers, manufacturers of welding products, distributor sales personnel, supervisors, quality assurance personnel, technical writers and others will gain an understanding of welding that will make them more proficient at their job that involves welding related activities. Course content: • Safety in welding and cutting • Welding fundamentals and communication of welding information • Weld metal properties • Discussion and demo • Plasma Arc Cutting • Discussion and lab • Oxy-fuel welding, cutting and brazing • Shielded metal arc welding • Gas metal arc welding • Flux cored arc welding • Gas tungsten arc welding

WELDER QUALIFICATION TEST FOR WELDERS DANEST-WTTC assists companies to produce high quality welds and increase productivity through training by highly skilled instructors. Courses can be developed to suit company or individual requirements at the DANEST Welder Training & Testing Center – Takoradi. - Different test pieces may be required for each welding process and test position. Test can be tailored to meet the relevant standard. - Training is based on carbon steel. For any other material prior arrangements need to be made. - Please Note: for Qualification Courses one week is usually sufficient for anyone with welding experience in the process being tested. - Training fee: GHC 2,000/week/position/process - Courses run weekly Monday – Friday. To confirm booking full payment is required - Welders are to supply their own PPE (safety boots, flame retardant overall, etc.).
