Certificate in Welding Techniques

The Certificate in Welding Techniques at Lambton College's Sarnia campus is a one-year college certificate that gives you a strong, career-focused, hands-on education in this field.

You will master core welding processes — SMAW, GMAW, FCAW and GTAW — plus blueprint reading, cutting, layout and metallurgy, with extensive hands-on shop time. Welding skills are in strong, sustained demand across Canada's industrial heartland, and Sarnia's petrochemical region is a real advantage. Graduates work as welders and fabricators in manufacturing, construction and fabrication, with clear certification pathways.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Lambton College's Sarnia campus in Ontario — an affordable college in Canada's industrial heartland. This program is on Lambton's official PGWP-Ready list (CIP 48.0508), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; the final decision always rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Welder, Metal Fabricator and Fabrication Technician, leaving with practical, hands-on skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond technical training, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

With supportive instructors, modern facilities and a strongly career-focused approach, international students at Lambton College get practical learning and a welcoming place to study.
