 A self-paced training program, the course is about three and a half months (16 weeks) in duration.


Welder Training Diploma Program Course Outline

Module One:

Introduction and Safety:      

An introduction to the welding shop health & safety rules and guidelines.
This module covers the safety, theory and techniques of operating electric arc welding machines, oxy-fuel cutting equipment, power tools used in metal fabrication, and gas cylinder handling.

Fundamentals of Welding:     

Module Two:

Blueprints Reading and Symbols in Drawings for Welders:     

This module is designed to provide students with the knowledge to comfortably use a drawing to weld in proper location and to deposit a weld to the length, size and contour specified by the design. Also they will be able to use the correct material and welding procedure to carry on. In “Symbols” section of the module they will learn how to read & interpret welding symbols used in drawings and specifications.

Module Three:

Mathematics and Metallurgy in Welding:     

The mathematics section of the module is designed to provide students with ability to exercise mathematical operations in calculations and to convert measurements as required in drawings and specifications. Metallurgy topic will introduce students to various types of Iron, steel and other metals used in manufacturing. Mechanical and physical prosperities of metals will also be covered as well as classifications systems.

Module Four:

Oxy-Fuel Gas Cutting:  

Module two covers health and safety specific to oxy-fuel gas cutting.
Equipment set-up, gas cylinder handling and storage, pressure settings, guided and free hand cutting on carbon steel sheet, plate and pipe.

Module Five:

Shielded Metal Arc “STICK” Welding (SMAW):  

Power sources, polarity settings, current (amperage) selection, joint design, and electrode choices are all discussed in the "stick welding” theory portion of module three. Practical, and hands-on training on mild steel sheet, and mild steel plate in all positions using single, multiple pass, and weave techniques. Introduction of open root, carbon steel and pipe welding.
Welding (1G) on 1/4" to 1/2" mild steel plate in preparation for CWB and TSSA certification.

Module Six:

Gas Metal Arc “MIG” Welding (GMAW):  

Module four introduces the welding student to constant voltage power sources.
The modes of metal transfer (short-circuit, globular, spray & pulsed-spray) through voltage and wire speed settings are discussed and demonstrated. Gases used in the GMAW process are covered as well as electrode selection.
Students will learn to set-up a MIG welding machine, from changing gas cylinders to loading wire and equipment set-up (rollers, tension).
The lab portion has students welding all position fillet welds in the short-circuit transfer mode on mild steel sheet. Globular and spray transfer fillet & groove weld on mild steel plate in the flat and horizontal positions. Welding, (1G) on 1/4" to 1/2" mild steel plate in preparation for CWB and TSSA certification.

Module Seven:

Flux-Core Arc Welding (FCAW):  

Students learn the advantages/disadvantages of using a flux-cored wire as they continue with wire feed welding. Wire types, gas additions, and industry uses are all discussed.
Practical training on 3/8" to 3/4" plate on fillet and groove joint designs.
Welding (1G) on 3/8" to 3/4" mild steel plate in preparation for CWB and TSSA certification.

Module Eight:

Gas Tungsten Arc “TIG” Welding (GTAW):  

During module five, the welding student begins to learn more about inert gases, non-consumable electrodes, filler rods, alloy metals and current/polarity selection.Practical fillet welds on thin gauge mild steel in the pulse mode with no filler metal. Fillet and groove welds on mild steel sheet with filler rod in all positions.
Root and cover passes on mild steel pipe. Stainless steel and aluminums fillet welds with filler metal.

Module Nine:

Cutting Processes (Plasma and Air-Carbon Arc):  

Metal cutting processes is combined into a theory module based on two sections. First part is focusing on Oxy-fuel cutting. Other section of the module is focusing on Plasma Arc and Air carbon Arc cutting processes.Studenst will learn how to handle gas cylinders and regulators correctly and pressure settings, components of the cutting torch, angle and the speed of travel, proper electrodes for cutting, equipments and required power sources.

Module Ten:

Exams and Job preparation

Stanford International College is accredited as a Welding Training provider and License Exam Centre by the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB).  This means that our students can complete their exams at our school which is very beneficial for students.  Stanford will arrange for the tests to take place and the student can complete the tests in familiar settings which puts the student at ease.
