Welding training firm
marks three years
A
n independent training provider is
going from strength to strength as it
approaches its third anniversary.
Nordic Engineering Training and Testing
Centre was set up in December 2016
to help reduce the critical lack of skilled
workers within Tees Valley.
The Stockton-based engineering training
and testing facility works with local industry
to provide relevant skills-based training
and qualifications to help fill the growing
number of local jobs within the engineering
sector.
Since launching, Nordic has helped to put
more than 200 local people into semi-skilled
jobs across the Tees region.
And Nordic’s Welding Centre is also
booming – since January, it has drawn up
and monitored more than 865 welding
procedures and qualification documents to
BS/EN 15614-1, BS/EN 9606-1, ASME IX
and AWS D1.1 accreditations.
Nordic’s portfolio of courses now
also includes a “Mirror Welding” course
approved by the ECITB, with a number
of groups from a major national company
successfully completing the course with
outstanding results.
“Our aim from the outset was to provide
companies with the highest quality facility
available providing the welding sector
with a one stop shop for Procedure and
Qualification testing,” says Nordic managing
director Peter Robinson.
Nordic Engineering Training and Testing
provides high quality “tailor made” training
for companies and individuals from fillet
welding to 6GR Pipe Butt Weld, and many
in between including overlay and cladding
procedures, stud welding and rebar welding
on all types of materials.
The welding team at Nordic – made up
of Paul Mobberley, David Swann, Kenny
Williams and Ian Henderson-Thynne – has
more than 125 years’ experience between
them.
Robinson added: “The team designed
and built the welding area to accommodate
welders in a variety of ways, such as having
large welding booths that can open out to
double the size to take on any size of pipe
or plate with LED lighting to illuminate the
welding booths effectively. Each booth
contains MMA, TIG and MIG welding sets.
“We have been instrumental in all of the
welder testing undertaken at the TeesRep
Biomass and heavily involved in the mining
project taking place on Teesside and the
surrounding area, inclusive of P91, P22, P11
materials and Transition tests, high grade
carbon and stainless steels.”
