Frequently asked questions
Do I need a certificate to get a Ship Welder job?
An ITI certificate helps, but most employers care about your welding test. Being able to pass a 3G or 6G test on the day is what gets skilled welders hired, in India and in the Gulf.
Which welding process pays best?
TIG and 6G pipe welding usually command the highest rates because they need the most skill and are used on pressure piping in oil & gas. Multi-process welders are the easiest to place.
