We aim to support and promote a standard of excellence in welding, joining and fabrication. 

This will be achieved by providing current and progressive knowledge of practises from around the world to the trainers and educators of our future engineers.

We believe that by encouraging the development of knowledge in our educators, we not only promote advancement in new ideas but also encourage lifelong learning in their students and future generations.
