Overview

Fabricator - Welder Certificate

Metal fabricator welders are in high demand—in the oil patch, mining, manufacturing and construction. It’s a trade that requires a high level of skill and comprehensive knowledge of industrial welding and joining processes.

Fabricator-Welder is a one-year, dual certificate program offered at the Regina campus. You’ll learn from experienced instructors how to interpret drawings and use different welding processes and metal-forming machinery.

Working in Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s well-equipped shops, you’ll be trained in:

  • benchwork and trade safety
  • communications, trade math and print reading
  • layout, template development and fitting
  • gas metal arc and gas tungsten arc welding
  • oxy-fuel processes and plasma arc cutting
  • rigging and electric overhead crane operation
  • shielded metal arc welding
  • shop management

You’ll also fabricate several projects, complete your Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) welder qualification tests and participate in a one-week work experience.
