This course is designed for apprentices who have learned welding during Basic Carpentry and who are interested in obtaining their CWB tickets and/or for members who need to recertify their CWB positions.
The course will begin with the introductory procedures and techniques that are required to safely cut and weld using both gas and arc welding. Students will then proceed to learn welding techniques as they relate to the four CWB positions: flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead.
Students may be eligible to challenge a CWB test at the end of the course, depending on the level of proficiency they have attained.
