Fabrication, Welding & Heavy Engineering
Cut Weld Repair Rates and Pass Client Inspection the First Time
Training for fabrication yards, workshops and heavy engineering contractors where every rejected weld, late qualification package and NCR eats directly into project margin.
The Problem
Challenges we hear from this sector
These are the issues raised most often by engineering managers and plant leadership before a programme is scoped.
Weld repair rates above 3–5% quietly destroying project margin
WPS and PQR packages rejected by the client late in the schedule
Inspectors who cannot defend an acceptance or rejection decision technically
NDT reports accepted without review, leading to escaped defects
Dimensional and fit-up problems discovered only at final inspection
New welders and QC staff learning by trial and error on live projects
Training Solutions
How ProTrain addresses them
Each solution area can be delivered as a public programme or customised in-house using your own equipment, drawings and failure history.
Welding procedure qualification
ASME Section IX competency to write, qualify and audit WPS/PQR packages that pass client review the first time.
Welding inspection capability
Defect recognition, acceptance criteria and NDT interpretation, with CSWIP 3.1 preparation for those pursuing certification.
Fabrication QA/QC systems
Inspection and test plans, hold points, NCR handling and documentation dossiers that satisfy client QA audits.
Structural & pressure equipment codes
ASME Section VIII, AWS D1.1 and B31.3 requirements applied to what your yard actually fabricates.
Recommended Courses
Programmes most requested by this sector
All programmes are HRD Corp claimable and carry CPD hours where applicable.
Practical Welding Inspection & CSWIP 3.1 Preparation
Weld processes, defects, acceptance criteria and inspection documentation, with hands-on radiograph and macro interpretation sessions.
4 days (28 contact hours)View course outlineWPS, PQR & Welder Qualification to ASME Section IX
Write, qualify and audit welding procedure packages that pass client and third-party review the first time.
2 days (14 contact hours)View course outlineASME Section VIII Div. 1 — Pressure Vessel Design, Fabrication & Inspection
A three-day, calculation-driven programme covering ASME Section VIII Division 1 from material selection and shell thickness through nozzle reinforcement, welded joint categories, hydrotest and nameplate — using real vessel drawings and Malaysian DOSH practice.
3 days (21 contact hours)View course outlineNon-Destructive Testing (NDT) Methods, Interpretation & Reporting
A three-day, hands-on non-destructive testing programme covering the five core NDT methods — visual, penetrant, magnetic particle, radiographic and ultrasonic testing — with heavy emphasis on interpreting real indications, radiographs and reports rather than memorising theory.
3 days (21 contact hours)View course outlineBusiness Outcomes
What clients measure after training
- Measurable reduction in weld repair rate and rework hours
- Qualification packages approved without multiple client revisions
- Fewer NCRs raised at final inspection and handover
- Faster client acceptance and earlier project milestone payment
- A QC team that protects the yard's reputation on every bid
Outcome-linked training design
Before delivery we agree the operational metric the programme should influence — repair rate, downtime hours, inspection backlog, rework cost. Post-training, participants submit an action plan tied to that metric so results are visible to management.

Who will deliver your programme
Azman Yusof
Senior Trainer — Welding, NDT & QA/QC
18 years industry experience
Azman has qualified hundreds of welding procedures and rejected plenty of them. His sessions run on real radiographs, real PQR packages and real client NCRs, so participants leave able to defend a weld package in front of a client inspector.
- CSWIP 3.1 Welding Inspector
- ASNT NDT Level III (UT, RT, MT, PT)
- IWE — International Welding Engineer
Ir. Hafiz Rahman
Lead Trainer — Pressure Equipment & ASME Codes
22 years industry experience
Hafiz has spent his career between the design office and the plant floor — sizing shells and heads in the morning, walking down repairs with an inspector in the afternoon. He teaches code work the way it is actually used: calculation sheets, nameplate data, and repair decisions that must survive an audit.
- ASME Section VIII Div. 1 Design
- API 510 Pressure Vessel Inspector
- BEM Registered Professional Engineer
