Overview

Certificate in Welding Techniques

The welder is respected on any job site or shop floor as a person who works with their hands and understands the foundational theory needed to get the project finished. 

If you want to be ready to write your welding ticket test in less than a year, Fanshawe College’s Welding Techniques program will get you there.

Welding Techniques is a one-year Ontario College Certificate program with two academic levels, including a mandatory work placement

You’ll spend two semesters learning a wide range of skills 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.

Learning welding theory is vital, but so is the practical training needed to perform the most basic welding techniques. With Fanshawe's welding program, you'll:

  • complete a 120-hour unpaid work placement that will help you make connections in the field and earn experience;
  • develop hands-on skills and confidence using real-world industry equipment;
  • 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.
