Information about PTDF train-the-trainer welder certification

Hello house, please can anyone who has previously attended the ptdf welder's training and certification program tell what it really entails regarding the program structure, training venues and financial implications.
Thanks.

Hello, anyone who has been trained as a welder by ptdf should please comment. Thanks.

Hi there,
I came across someone who actually took part in the just concluded welders train-the-trainer certification program in South Africa and if you are familiar with the parlance in welding, the training will involve a lot of practicals. PTDF intends to train you to become a coded welder starting from the cradle that is from 1F to 6G. And you will be awarded with a diploma from the International Institute of Welding.

Thanks a lot fawkesphoenix.
I understand the training starts in Nigeria for some months before the best performers are sent to South Africa, However I will like to know if the selection exams to do the training involves welding related questions or tests of general knowledge. Also, is the training on full sponsorship with maintennance allowance or does one cater for himself?
