9 de agosto de 2025Rob Gargaro

In today's fast‑paced world of auto collision repair, precision welding skills aren’t just a bonus; they’re a necessity. Whether you’re repairing a high‑end frame or reinforcing a steel chassis, every weld you make directly impacts vehicle safety and structural integrity. That’s why Area 22 Training Centre’s Mastering MIG/MAG Welding Sessions is a training worth taking, and here’s why.

1. Learn from True Industry Veterans

Our instructors bring over 40 years of hands‑on experience to the classroom. Not only are they I‑Car and CCC‑certified, but our Training Development Manager, Rob Gargaro, has numerous OEM certifications, including Porsche and McLaren and our Certified Welding Inspector, Bastien Primatesta, has over 10,000 hours of welding experience. This depth of expertise means you’re not just learning theory—you’re gaining insights distilled from decades of real-world and collision‑repair environments.

2. Hands‑On Focus with Small Class Sizes

We believe the best way to learn is by doing. That’s why each session is capped at three participants, ensuring you receive personalized guidance every step of the way. From fine‑tuning your machine settings to perfecting joint preparation, you’ll get the practice and the feedback you need to build confidence in your welds.

3. Steel, Aluminum, MIG Brazing

Modern vehicles use a mix of materials, and we are equipped to better your skills in all three. By understanding material behaviour and the right welding parameters, you’ll reduce rework and improve repair quality.

4. Convenient Scheduling and Affordable Pricing

Life on the shop floor is busy. That’s why our sessions run every other Friday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, letting you plan your week around training. At $200 per hour, the cost is a fraction of what costly errors can set you back. Invest in your skills now to save time and money later.

5. Real‑World Application and Certification Prep

Not only will you leave with stronger welds, but you’ll also be prepared to pass I‑Car and CCC welding certification Courses. Walking through inspection criteria with a certified welding inspector means you understand exactly what auditors look for, giving you a competitive edge in your career.
