Welder Training (Part-time)
|
|
*Approved as a vocational program under the Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005
The Welder training certificate program consists of classroom theory that covers technical material and blueprints and practical hands-on training. Students will receive training in the use of the following equipment: Oxy-Acetylene Cutting, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Flux-Cored Arc Welding and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). In addition, students will be trained to use a wide variety of support equipment including portable grinders and many small hand tools. The Welding Training certificate program will also prepare you for Welding certification.
