According to recent surveys there are a large percentage of skilled welders who are due to retire within a few years, and the industry needs new skilled welders to replace them. Welding training is easily transferred to the work place.

Welding certification is achieved through a combination of 80% practical training for the different types of test procedures, and 20% theory taught within the shop.  

Upon successful completion of our courses, each student must complete all lessons and then a practical training test from the school instructor, in order to be issued a School Certificate stating that he or she has met our required standards.

SCHOOL CLASSES can be taken from 9 a.m. to 12 noon or 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. daily, or special training hours can be arranged with the School Manager, for night classes.
