[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] On the 23rd and 26th, 14 second-year mechanical engineering students from Busan Mechanical Technical High School all passed the 'Lloyd's Register Welding Certification Test' conducted by Lloyd's Register (LRQA) in the UK.

This is the first time that domestic high school students have taken and passed the Lloyd's Register welding certification test.

Lloyd's Register in the UK is renowned as the most prestigious among the world's classification societies, handling technical evaluations related to design certification, inspection, safety, and reliability across ships, general industries, and railways.

Students who receive certification in the test can have their welding skills internationally recognized when seeking employment at shipbuilding companies both domestically and worldwide. They can also gain many benefits when taking foreign technical engineer exams or applying to various companies.

Despite the absolute shortage of practical training hours due to COVID-19, the students participated in related after-school classes, sacrificing vacations and weekends.

The students plan to participate in the Australian global field training program using the Lloyd's Register welding certification. They also plan to challenge the classification welding test for flat plates over 13mm and 5G pipes.

Yang Byeong-chun, principal of Busan Mechanical Technical High School, said, “We will nurture industry-tailored talents equipped with global employment capabilities through differentiated curriculum operation.”
