Hydrogen is recognised as playing a valuable role in delivering low carbon heating and power for UK buildings and industrial processes. The Liverpool City Region is ideally positioned to take full advantage of the new skilled jobs within the sector, including hydrogen specialist pipe welders & fabricators and maintenance engineering technicians. Working with industry, we have designed courses aimed at equipping learners with the skills and knowledge required to consider a role with the fast-growing sector. The courses also explore what high-intensity up-skilling and re-training opportunities could be provided to allow skilled adults to move from one sector to another. 

What is this course about? 
This course focuses on the modern fabrication and fitting skills required to work in the local hydrogen network and how these could be applied to the pipe welding industry. Alongside it provides an understanding of the differences between natural gas and hydrogen, and the key safety measures required when handling gas. We are very well placed in the Liverpool City Region to enter the expanding hydrogen and pipework network, lots of local industry are investing in the hydrogen network.

The aim of the course is to cover the majority of the skills required by industry with regards to pipe fitting, pipe welding and fabrication all whilst being aware of the health and safety requirements of dealing with hydrogen.

You will cover the following :

• Introduction to the North West Hydrogen plan
• Health and Safety protocols specific to hydrogen and welding
• Introduction to welding drawings and welding symbols
• An overview of TIG/MIG/MMA Welding techniques– multiple welds
• Methods of destructive and Non destructive testing
