The Welder Apprenticeship is a three-period trade delivered through Alberta's apprenticeship system, combining technical training at Northern Lakes College with employer-based on-the-job experience. First Period covers workplace safety, welding technology, metal properties, and the GMAW, FCAW, MCAW and SAW welding processes, along with trade math and lab and shop work. Second Period covers SMAW 1 and 2, GTAW 1, pattern development and estimating. Third Period covers SMAW 3, welds on mild steel plate and pipe, drawing interpretation and trade science, with lab and shop work throughout. Training is delivered face-to-face at Northern Lakes College campuses, with student housing available at select locations. On completion of all three periods and required apprenticeship hours, apprentices earn a Journeyman Certificate and can pursue Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training exams toward Red Seal endorsement.
