Join Training Development Manager Robert Gargaro as he reflects on an exhilarating hands-on frame rail sectioning workshop held at Area 22 training centre in March—where a cohort of eager students dove into OEM-precision measuring, cutting, and fitting of replacement rails under expert guidance. From meticulous joint preparation and rigorous safety protocols to mastering three distinct MIG welds and spot-weld techniques, attendees tackled each step with enthusiasm and teamwork, transforming a complex structural repair into an engaging learning experience. The day culminated in each student grinding, priming, and seam-sealing their welds, leaving with newfound confidence in their welding prowess and a deeper appreciation for automotive structural integrity. Rob’s retrospective highlights not just the technical skills gained but the collaborative spirit and problem-solving energy that made this session a standout success—and a sneak peek at the excitement to come in future trainings.
