Length of Program: 1800 hours

Help wanted advertisements are constantly calling for skilled welders. In our automated age, there are still more high paying jobs for welders than qualified people to fill them. Welding is not an ordinary job, but a skilled trade with expanding opportunities.

The Aviron Technical Institute of Montreal's welding course is carefully designed to prepare our graduates for employment. In as short a time as possible, our graduates will be well grounded in fundamentals and will have developed their technique in all four positions, in arc welding process.

The welding trade is an already large field and a constantly growing market. Because of our ever growing technology, welding processes are becoming more and more specialized, such as GTAW (tig) which is replacing the old Oxy-Acetylene technique, and GMAW (mig) FCAW which is a faster process than the older conventional SMAW (stick).


The training process is a lot more complicated than it was twenty years ago. Today's training process includes four welding process' and three cutting processes. Aviron will train you in the four categories of welding-fitting including SMAW, GTAW, FCAW and GMAW, blue print reading and assembling.

Future employment prospects for welders are excellent. The graduate welder can find work in many fields: heavy industry, railway, automobile industry, aviation, garages, construction, shipbuilding, oil refineries, etc., as well as ultimately even opening up his own business, as many of our graduates have done.

The Aviron Technical Institute of Montreal's welding and fitting course can help you reach your objectives.

The Quebec's Ministry of Education will issue a Secondary School Vocational Diploma (SSVD-5695) to students who successfully pass theoretical and practical examinations.
