MIG/MAG Welding Course Level 1 to 4

In the MIG/MAG welding course, you will learn the professional techniques of arc welding with a consumable electrode in shielding gas. After completing the training, you should be able to independently perform the described and established skills based on standard drawings and work instructions. The difference between MIG and MAG lies in the material being welded. MIG welding is with aluminum, MAG welding is with steel or stainless steel.
