Services
Training at The General Welding School Ltd. is based on practical methods; in-shop and classroom theory modules, both providing a full understanding on how to be a competent, knowledgeable welder. Testing leads to welding certification. Other more technologically advanced processes have not replaced Electric Arc as the primary process in structural welding because the electric arc process is technically suited for exterior welding.
Upon completion of this program, individuals will have the necessary knowledge and skills to obtain entry level welding positions that do not require TSSA or CWB certification. Class hours are flexible to fit your schedule. You can attend 9am-12pm, 1pm-4pm or 9am-3pm. Fees include 162 hours of (shop/class) instruction, books, and safety equipment.
This is a one on one training program and we have classes starting every Monday. Come in with your deposit to register and select your training schedule (morning, afternoon or full day). After registering, your course will start within 1 - 3 weeks depending on availability. Space is limited so contact us now, the sooner you call, the sooner you will start your new career.

Shout out to Rocky and crew for getting me on the straight and narrow concerning pipe welding. Everything I needed was at the faculty, aside from my own PPE, and everything went well. My questions were always met with answers or demos, and my requests were met with solutions.
I highly recommend this place for those who want to learn to weld, or brush up their skills. Excellent rates and solid scheduling availability.

If you want to learn to weld and start a career then this is the place to go. I went in knowing nothing at all about welding and left confident in my skills learned here. They also helped me get a job and get my foot in the door at a shop. Nick and Rocky are great teachers and care about the success of their students. I would recommend General Welding 100%.
