Association for Welding and Fabrication
Training and Education (AWFTE)

Founded in 1990 by The Welding Institute, the AWFTE has four principal objectives. These are to:

• Establish a national network for welding and fabrication professionals in the education and training sector, and provide the voice of this community
• Supply Members with the latest information about all national, European and international matters affecting their work and provide a forum for discussion where appropriate
• Form a collective view of policies, trends and developments, and represent this view to the relevant authorities and organisations
• Provide for participation by Members in development projects related to the sector.

The association is managed by a group of Members who have volunteered to serve on the Management Committee responsible for the actions and activities of AWFTE.
