Overview of Technical Training
Training Offering
Lincoln Electric has a long history of providing customers with expert
training on our various products, as well as general arc welding
fundamentals. Our technical trainers have many years of experience
in the welding industry and a very comprehensive knowledge of
Lincoln Electric products and welding processes. They also have
backgrounds in technical sales and/or technical support.
Lincoln Electric’s Technical Training group offers a variety of
seminars and workshops, ranging from basic welding fundamentals
training to high level programs on welding design issues, Nextweld ®
Technologies, etc. We conduct various “train the trainer” seminars
for welding educators. We also provide training for our authorized
distributors who are at all levels of experience. Programs are held
at both our headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio and in the field. Students
spend about 50% classroom time and 50% hands-on lab time.
Also included are tours of Lincoln Electric’s manufacturing and
R&D facilities.
The Technical Training group also produces state-of-the-art training
curriculums and materials for teaching arc welding. Many of this is
available at a “no charge” basis for welding instructors, including
our “No Teacher Left Behind” educational support program.
