Eweld: Project events

We had a great time at the events and meeting people!

These events took place on 14th and 15th February, and 21st March 2017 at Yours Business Networks, Gateshead UK. The event was organised to look at the viability of certain training packages and methods within the high profile UK companies that attended from engineering and waste sectors. There were 33 attendees in total, many of whom had roles related to welding or its supervision.

The outcome was positive. With this course being primarily used to train welders in Lithuania, it was still considered a viable training resource for welding companies and relevant education institutions in the UK as well.

Eweld: Partner Meeting 2

On 1-2nd of March 2017 the partners of "Quality Development of Welding Training" held a meeting in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Partners included representatives of the Vliniaus Jeruzalės Labour Markets Training Centre, Slovenian Welding Association, Lithuanian Welders Association, and Rocketman Studio Limited from the UK.

During the meeting, the completion of the course platform in three languages was discussed. We decided that piloting in Lithuania will begin this month.

We also discussed additions to the partner website and teacher administration in the back-end of the training portal.

Certificates and outcomes for students and trainers were also decided upon – there was a lot of discussion on requirements for the data that is produced by the system.

The second day included a cultural excursion around the Old Town in Ljubljana and a meal with the partners. Below are some images:

Eweld: partners have visited Slovenia for the second time

Project " Welding Training Quality Development" partners have visited Slovenia for the second time

On 3rd of March, 2017, the project "Welding Training Development Quality " (hereinafter referred to as "Project") meeting was held in Slovenia.

The project partner Rocketman Studio Limited introduced a version of the online training program for welder foreman. The training program is for welders who seek to raise their qualifications and become leaders in welders brigades. The training program is to train welders brigade welders from Slovenia, the United Kingdom and Lithuania. Program prepared in three languages - Slovenian, Lithuanian and English. The partners discussed, shared their experience, offered suggestions for managing the online learning curriculum. It is anticipated that a online training program for a welder's foreman will be available at following online addresses: http://lt.emokymas.eu/ ; http://en.emokymas.eu/ ; http://sl.emokymas.eu/ . The pilot training program is scheduled to start in April 2017.


During the implementation of the Project, Vilnius Jeruzalės Labor Market Training Center (hereinafter - VJLMTC) became the first vocational training institution in Lithuania, which is able to perform welders international training in accordance with the international welder training program. At the end of November 2016, the first group of pilot training participants successfully completed the training.

With the Project partner - the representative of the Slovenian welders association, Gabriel Rihar, further cooperation was discussed after  the project.

The project partner SIWS recommended the development of international training for welders in parallel with the project activities involving the creation and testing of these services:
In order to create a functioning training system for international welders, it was proposed to test individual international welder programs. An international welder training program was developed using the modules method. The curriculum of the programs (modules) is 13. During the project, one of the programs was offered to try.

In Slovenia, international training for welders is being developed in parallel with national qualifications. Project partner SIWS recommended that the international welder training system would be linked to the national (modular welder training program). The training participants would be given the opportunity to obtain an international welder certificate in parallel.

During the meeting, project management and administration issues were discussed. Scheduled tasks that the partners committed to undertake till the next partner meeting in the UK. In the evening, the project partners spent a great time in one of the cafes in Ljubljana's Old Town.
