Students will learn appropriate welding techniques to achieve qualification under the CSA W47.1, with testing conducted by the Canadian Welding Bureau. Additionally, several welding processes, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding are covering during the course, as well as the theoretical concepts required by the Apprenticeship In-Class Training standards.
