Graduates with entry-level certifications will find challenging jobs with opportunities for rapid advancement.

This course equips you with the basic practical skills and knowledge needed to start work in industries involving welding. This one year, full time course includes theory work and practical sessions in our WorldSkills standard welding workshop in our multi-million pound Construction Skills Centre. You will study units including: working in engineering, principles of engineering, principles of fabrication and welding, manual metal arc, mig welding and tig welding.

If you like construction and working with your hands, welding is a useful skill to learn. This programme is for people who are new to welding and fabrication. You will be taught welding techniques and learn in a ‘real-world’ workshop, to gain four industry-recognised welding tickets. Beginner or new to the industry? Our Welding Level 3 course is the perfect solution.

The Welding Engineering Technology program offers full- time, two years of hands-on education. The first year focuses on academic fundamentals and structural steel design and fabrication. During the second year, you will learn pressure vessel design, construction, and testing. You will design, build and test a pressure vessel as part of your final project. Practical welding skills are also developed to gain an in-depth understanding of welding processes.

The Welding Technology certificate course prepares students for entry-level work in the welding industry. Students learn about safety, hand tools, oxyacetylene torches, plasma arc, shielded metal arc welding (stick), gas metal arc welding (MIG), gas tungsten arc welding (TIG), flux-cored arc welding, metallurgy, print reading, and weld symbols.

New Zealand is a young country that is growing – this means that skills in construction and engineering will always be in high demand, wherever you go in the country. Becoming qualified in welding is a unique place to start a career, whether you want to find a way to enter the construction industry, or if you’d like to do something more artistic.

Welding Diploma is a two-semester program designed for individuals seeking skill development and certification in common welding procedures leading to employment in a variety of industries.

A Welding Apprenticeship Level 2 provides a structured training program for individuals interested in pursuing a career in welding. Here are the key aspects and benefits of such an apprenticeship: Practical Skills Development: Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with classroom learning. In a welding apprenticeship, you'll gain hands-on experience in welding techniques, safety procedures, and equipment operation under the supervision of experienced professionals. Technical Knowledge: The apprenticeship covers theoretical knowledge related to welding, including understanding different welding processes (such as MIG, TIG, arc welding), reading technical drawings, materials science, welding codes and standards, and quality control measures.

The Certificate of Specialization in Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) Levels I, II, & or IV signifies mastery of first-level advanced welding skills in Flux-Cored Arc Welding. This specialized certification program is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and expertise needed to excel in the field of welding, particularly in the area of Flux-Cored Arc Welding.
