The DVS "Young Welders" Competition consists of three stages until the four nationwide victors in the Gas Welding, Manual Metal Arc Welding, Metal Active Gas Welding and Tungsten Inert Gas Welding disciplines have been decided. All the competition tasks will be oriented to the stipulations of the welder qualification test which complies with DIN EN ISO 9606-1 and is recognised on the European and international levels. Therefore, whoever reaches the required number of points in the National DVS "Young Welders" Competition will be delighted about an internationally recognised vocational qualification.
First of all, the welding contest will be staged on the regional level in the over 70 DVS district branches. Thereafter, the respective winners will participate in their State DVS Competitions. Whoever emerges as the victors there will encounter strong rivals in the National DVS Competition. "Here, really the best up-and-coming welders will come up against each other and the contests in the four disciplines are always extremely exciting," reports Hans-Jörg Herold, Chairman of the Working Group for the National "Young Welders" Competition.
Above all next year, the battle for the best weld should become even more exciting when the young welders line up under the eyes of the interested public at SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN in Düsseldorf. Directly after the National DVS "Young Welders" Competition, the WELDCUP is planned.
In this case, talented up-and-coming welders from the whole of Europe will come up against each other.
As the last competition, the "International Competition" is planned. Then, there will once more be a brisk onrush in front of the welders' cabins at the best-known German fair in the sector. Because young welders from all over the world will be able to take part in this event and gauge themselves against each other. However, even if significance is attached to victory and honour during the welding competitions, emphasis will always be placed on fun, international contacts and thrills.
