The Ford Aluminum GMA (MIG) Welding course is industry-recognized because of the unique learning, skills practice and test experience. Although the actual training is completed in one day, the average time to complete the entire Welding Training & Certification process is typically two to six weeks. Factors such as shop availability and readiness to hold the event, I-CAR Instructor availability, and the outcome of the shop Welding Capability & Readiness Assessment all contribute to upfront preparation time before training day. Shop preparation in the weeks leading to the course is required to successfully complete certification on training day!
