Certificate in Welding Techniques

Program Overview

Welding Techniques is a one-year Ontario College Certificate program with two academic levels, including a mandatory work placement. At the completion of the program, students will be eligible to test for welding tickets based on their level of expertise. It is expected that most of the graduates will be prepared to enter the workforce as a Welder following the completion of this program.


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.
