Course Details

From buildings to pipelines, aircraft, and automobiles, if it’s made of metal, a welder had a hand in making it. If you’re looking for a hands-on trade that’s in high demand across many industries, welding could be the career spark for a great future.

The NBCC Welding Plus Pressure Welding program combines hands-on training and theoretical instruction, covering a range of welding techniques and processes including manual and semi-automatic welding and cutting processes, trade safety, codes and standards, basic fabrication, and overall knowledge of metallurgy.

In our program, you’ll also receive instruction and gain practical experience focused on pressure welding on plate and pipe, preparing you to gain Pressure Welding certifications in addition to your certificate.

Significant time is spent practicing welding techniques under the guidance of our experienced instructors, and in some cases, you may even be able to take advantage of opportunities for testing for the Class B F3 or F3/F4 Approved tickets as part of your studies.

Whether you're looking to start your welding career or enhance your expertise in pressure applications, our program can equip you with the practical experience and industry insights needed to succeed.

Duration

The requirements for this certificate program may be achieved within one academic year of full-time study.

Admission Requirements

  • High School Diploma or Adult High School Diploma or GED Diploma of High School Equivalency or Essential Skills Achievement Pathway: Post-Secondary Entry High School Diploma

​​​​​​​Career Possibilities

With Canada’s ongoing industrial, infrastructure and energy projects, plus a solid manufacturing base, opportunities for welders exist across the country and in most sectors including construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, energy, and natural resources.

Graduates often start with cutting, welding, fabricating and fitting roles at construction firms, manufacturing companies, fabrication shops, and specialized welding shops, but with experience and the opportunity to specialize in specific types of welding including marine/shipbuilding, pressure, aluminum and other metals, your opportunities and pay scale grow.

Many skilled welders also choose to work for themselves, and there is no shortage of work to be found.

With ongoing demand, and good salaries that can average more than $40/hr for specialized workers such as boilermakers, It's the perfect time to join the skilled welding trade and become a vital part of building and maintaining the infrastructure of our modern world.
