Jak se stát svářečem

Welding is a certificate-driven trade: employers care about which welding processes (MMA, MIG/MAG, TIG) and which materials you are certified for, more than which school you attended. The standard route is a 2-3 year vocational program plus internationally recognised welding certificates (EN ISO 9606, EN 14732). For supervisory roles you typically need an EWE/IWE qualification.

Stack the certificates strategically: a TIG ticket on stainless and aluminium pays much more than the standard MIG/MAG on carbon steel, and certificates can be earned in a few weeks once you have the technique. Plan to recertify every 1-3 years to keep them valid.
