Program Description:

The welder is respected on any jobsite, or shop floor. A person who works with their hands and understands the theory needed to get the project finished. If you want to be ready to write your welding ticket test in one year, Fanshawe's Welding Techniques program will get you there.

Learning welding theory is vital, but so is the practical training needed to perform the most basic welding techniques before applying your skills in the workforce. You'll spend two semesters learning a wide range of skills that are needed in today's fast-paced workplaces, including health and safety, blueprint readings and sketching, applied math, communication, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, introduction to computers and all-position pipe welding. You'll finish with a 120-hour work placement that will help you make connections in the field and make your application stand out from the rest.

The skills and confidence you'll get from the Welding Techniques program will help you enter the workforce quickly, and you'll be qualified to work as a welder, welder fitter trainee or as an apprentice in a wide range of trades including boilermaker, construction millwright, industrial mechanic/millwright, ironworker or pipefitter.
