18. Apr 2023

Table Table of contentsof contents

Activity oriented educational concept

Training course MAG fillet weld/butt weld in accordance with guideline IIW 1111 – „International welder“

OutlookEducation using VWTS as an International WelderDevelopment of VWTS



18. Apr 2023

Demands on weldersDemands on welders

Ability for adjusting parameters

Good manual skills

Self evaluation of the welds

Target:

Improvement of the quality of education of

welders



18. Apr 2023

Education modelEducation model acc. to guideline IIW 1111 – International welder acc. to guideline IIW 1111 – International welder

Increasing degree of difficulty- from easy to difficult - taking of welders‘ exams of one level (P FW, P BW, T FW, T BW)

Differentiation into the fields of thin sheet and plate materials etc.

Completely program on special knowledge

Teaching principles for working on the VWTSTeaching principles for working on the VWTS

Education is performed on the 4-stages principle Preparation Presentation Performance Conclusion

The more learning channels are activated, the more remains in long-term memory

VWTS activates all learning channels:

hearing, the eye, emotions, practical action, discussions…

Phases of self-learning and trialwill support the capability to act



18. Apr 2023

New New opportunities due to VWTSopportunities due to VWTS

Formation of groups on a system

Create extensive phases of trial for the trainee

Intrinsic motivation due to competitions

Immediate feedback by the system andtrainer during the welding process

Trainer can observe several participants(Working in natural light more than in the booth)

Draft of a guideline DVS 1108-1Draft of a guideline DVS 1108-1

Scope of use

Relation trainer- participant

Requirements on shop size

Minimum requirements of the

systems used

Requirements to trainers and futuredemand on qualification



18. Apr 2023

Use of the systemsUse of the systems

Primarily at the beginning of the training and for beginners in the welding process, respectively

For every new position in the field of thin sheet and thick plates

Every time the manipulation of objects and torch are presented

to groups

Max. two half days per position

Training MAG fillet weld / butt weld - CurriculumTraining MAG fillet weld / butt weld - Curriculum

Basis: DVS-IIW-guideline 1111 „International welder“

Implementation to common training

Orientation to educational practice of the educational centers

Duration of eight weeks

Still low proportion of VWTS in the education (due to system!)

VWTS-use never takes longer than half a day

Exact curriculum



18. Apr 2023

Training course MAG fillet weld/ butt weld – Teaching principles Training course MAG fillet weld/ butt weld – Teaching principles

Use of new teaching possibilities

by groups/self-learning

Use of new ergonomic possibilities by observing

of welder's positions
