Boilermaking is where AIET began. It remains a flagship part of our identity: a field for people who want to turn drawings, measurements and metal into something useful. For a learner comparing boilermaking courses in Gauteng, the starting point is a clear training plan.
Boilermaking and welding belong together—but are different
Boilermaking involves preparing, shaping and assembling metal structures and components. Welding is a joining skill used within many fabrication tasks. When comparing courses, ask how much time is allocated to each activity and how your practical progress will be assessed.
Know which pathway you are buying
An introductory or semi-skilled course is not automatically the same as a full occupational qualification or qualified artisan status. Ask for the exact course title, approval reference where applicable, entry requirements and progression options in writing. Check training approval separately from trade-test-centre approval in our register.
Make your campus visit count
Ask to discuss workshop access, supervision, protective equipment, consumables and practical assessment. Compare the full cost, including any separately charged assessment or equipment. AIET’s ambition is practical competence: learners who understand the task, work carefully and can explain the quality of their work. Apply for campus study and confirm your course and intake with reception before making travel plans.
