SMAW 3G & 4G
Position-focused Shielded Metal Arc Welding training for 3G and 4G work. The course combines welding safety, machine setup, electrode selection, joint preparation, arc control, multi-pass technique, defect identification and repeated practical performance.
Develop Practical Competence for Real Work
Position-focused Shielded Metal Arc Welding training for 3G and 4G work. The course combines welding safety, machine setup, electrode selection, joint preparation, arc control, multi-pass technique, defect identification and repeated practical performance.
SMAW remains important for construction, fabrication, maintenance and industrial work. Consistent weld quality depends on preparation, parameters, body position, electrode control, inter-pass cleaning and safe equipment handling.
NSDA-Approved Occupation
Advanced practical training for shielded metal arc welding in 3G and 4G positions, supported by joint preparation, machine setup, quality checks and safety.
Competency Focus
- Welding safety, PPE and equipment inspection
- Joint preparation and electrode selection
- Machine settings and arc control
- 3G and 4G position welding practice
- Visual inspection and defect correction
Demonstration, Practice and Trainer Feedback
Each important task is first explained and demonstrated. Learners then perform the task in manageable steps, repeat it, receive feedback and correct gaps. This approach develops both technical accuracy and the confidence to work safely with others.
Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of training, a committed learner should be able to demonstrate the following knowledge, practical skills and safety behaviours.
Apply welding PPE, electrical safety and fire controls
Inspect and set up an SMAW power source and accessories
Prepare plate edges, root gap, alignment and tack welds
Select electrodes and adjust current for the task
Perform controlled 3G and 4G multi-pass welding practice
Identify undercut, porosity, slag inclusion and other defects
Build Accuracy Through Repeated Occupational Tasks
Practical sessions move from trainer-controlled exercises to more complete occupational tasks. Learners are observed for safety, sequence, tool handling, measurement, quality and completion. Where performance gaps appear, the task is explained and practiced again.
Attendance and active participation are important because each practical stage builds on the previous stage. Learners should follow instructions, protect tools and materials, maintain housekeeping and communicate immediately when a task or safety control is unclear.
- Pre-task briefing and learning objective
- Trainer demonstration and guided questions
- Individual or team practical performance
- Quality inspection and corrective feedback
- Daily reflection and progress recording
