Advanced Welding Technology

The Advanced Welding Technology diploma goes beyond the Alberta Welder Apprenticeship training. It combines advanced technical knowledge, welding skills and exposure to modern technologies to give a graduate a competitive edge in their welding career.

This two-year program provides hands-on training in fabrication, product innovation and inspection methods, equipping you with foundational skills that are in high demand. Students will gain the leadership skills necessary to excel in the welding industry.

Growing demand in environmental industries and infrastructure repair, along with the increasing rate of retirements among experienced welders, means graduates will have diverse career opportunities in welding, fabrication and industrial construction. This program serves as a direct pathway into apprenticeship trades training at NAIT without the need to be a registered apprentice first.
