FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

Welding Techniques

Canada has a growing demand for skilled welders, and Sheridan offers some of the top training in the GTA. You’ll get in-depth hands-on education in current welding techniques — working with the most current technology — and study the theory at the same time. Learn shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW).

Develop fundamental skills in the high-demand welding trade

Prepare for a welding apprenticeship by working with our experienced faculty in state-of-the-art labs.

Earn up to three Canadian Welding Bureau licencesOur one-year program gives you the chance to earn certifications with the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB). You may test in three welding processes in the flat position to obtain up to three licences. Tests take place on campus, which means testing in familiar surroundings. Sheridan welding students get a discounted rate, making this one of the most affordable ways to earn welding certifications.

Learn the best way to find a welding jobIn the classroom, you’ll learn how to conduct a job search, maintain proper work documentation and communicate effectively on the job. You’ll also study industrial practices in areas such as:

• Metallurgy (chemical processes)

• Safety

• Blueprints and construction documents

• Layout and fabrication

• Trade calculations

• Welding theory

Learn fundamental welding techniques and current theories in one year.
