About this course

This course introduces fundamental MIG, TIG, and stick welding techniques. It is designed for those new to these processes, offering a structured path with theoretical and practical modules. Through guided exercises, you will learn to prepare joints and perform your first welds. An integrated artificial intelligence system will help suggest the most suitable welding parameters (amperage, gas) for each joint type and material, facilitating learning. This course provides basic training and does not replace mandatory courses, official certifications, or the advice of a qualified professional.
