Spark your skills. Learn a variety of welding processes and use specialized equipment to create a solid bond between metal plate and/or pipe. Welders work on custom fabrication, ship building and repair, pressure vessels, pipelines, structural construction welding, and machinery.
South Okanagan employers are excited about the purpose-built welding facility at Okanagan College's Penticton campus.
'When your students start welding better than you, that is a good day' says Curtis Walker, Red Seal Welding instructor.

Okanagan College also offers modular welding training. Welder B is suited to those who are working in the industry who are not registered as an apprentice with the ITA, and whose hours are typically recorded in a logbook. This is an alternate route to achieving Red Seal Certification as a journeyperson welder.
Okanagan College is a recognized welder testing agency for the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Safety Branch. Upgrading and testing procedures are for presently or recently employed welders, who wish to improve their techniques and become proficient in special processes, or wish to upgrade their existing qualifications.
