With the transition from EN 287-1 to 9606-1:2013 much will change in the field of welding
THE BIGGEST CHANGES IN A NUTSHELL:
Introducing our in-house welding coordinator
Testing
What we look for when evaluating employees

Equipment Knowledge
If you hire a welder at VRTU, you want to know whether the candidate knows how to handle the equipment. For this example, we test whether the candidate knows how the ratio of the wire speed in respect to the voltage, which settings are being used for what material etc..

Understanding technical drawings
At VRTU we check whether the candidate is able to work from a drawing. We test the welders if they can work from a WPS and other jobfunctions such as: pipefitters or metalworkers, we test whether they understand the technical drawings and are able to execute the job according to the drawing.

Theory
Wondering if the candidate is aware of the required theoretical knowledge? At vrtu we test whether this knowledge is sufficiently available or that there is possibly some training must take place.

Quality
At VRTU all candidates are assessed for quality, so you spend less time on the evaluation of the employee. We can assure you that if you hire a welder that he can weld and that a metalworker knows how to work his metal.
