City & Guilds Level 2?

[Ashley Burton]

Hi Guys,

Did a level 1 TIG C&G many years ago, But interested to know what sort of standard a level 2 course expects from a candidate?

Is it more about quality of penetration & overall standard of welding?

Its a real shame I only have a MIG atm, Would be good to have a TIG also to get some practice in as its been quite a while since I've used a TIG welder!

This is what you're required to do. The course syllabus is online.

Unit 204

• Produce a butt weld in the PA flat position
• Produce a lap fillet weld in the PF vertical-up position
• Produce a tee fillet weld in the PF vertical-up position
• Produce a butt weld in the PF vertical-up position
• Produce a tube-to-plate tee fillet weld in the PB horizontal/vertical position
• Know the Process and Health & Safety requirements for Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding

The only difference from what you have done already is that the welding positions are more challenging at level 2. I think they do destructive tests to check for root penetration. I know they do this for MIG and MMA. Give it a go.
