WELDING TECHNICIAN
Over the course of this 24 week program you will learn the skills and theory taught in the first and second period of the Welder apprenticeship program. You will learn how to join and sever metals using various processes used in the welding industry. You'll also learn how to use other tools used in the welding industry.
Upon successful completion of your first 12 weeks, you will be eligible to write the first period Welder apprenticeship exam. At the end of the 24 weeks, providing you pass the first period exam and the last 12 weeks of the course, you will be eligible to write the second period Welder apprenticeship exam.
Work conditions for welders vary from one job to another. Welders may work outdoors on construction sites, or indoors in production and repair shops. Travel may also be required on jobs such as oilfield-related welding. A 40-hour work week is typical, but overtime is occasionally required to meet project deadlines.
