Welder – Red Seal “Interprovincial” Certificate Preparation Course
|
|
This is a 10 week, 40 hour program preparation course designed for welders interested in taking the Ministry of Training Interprovincial Exam. There are no prerequisites to take the course, however it is a ministry requirement that welders have at least 6000 hours (3 years) work experience to be eligible to write the exam. A second requirement from the Ministry of Training is an all-position SMAW (stick) qualification from the CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau). Stanford International College has created this preparation course intended to ready welders for writing the multiple choice exam.
