CWB TESTING
The Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) licenses all structural welders in Canada. North American Trade Schools in Brampton & London are accredited CWB test centres. CWB testing is available onsite and must be booked in advanced. Current welders who need to obtain or renew their CWB certification are required to bring their expiring/ expired license to validate the check test.
Each process and each position are a separate test and welders must successfully pass flat, horizontal and vertical before the overhead test is valid. Test results are valid for 2 years.
Testing is available in the following processes:
- Electric Arc Mild Steel Welding (SMAW)
- Electric Arc Stainless Welding (SMAW)
- MIG Welding (GMAW)
- Flux-core Welding (FCAW)
WELDING WORKSHOPS
NATS Brampton & London also offer short-term general interest workshops designed for welders looking to upgrade their current welding skills for personal or professional purposes. Ideal for graduates of Welding Certificate programs and current welders, a minimum of 1 year of welding experience is required. (Note: completion of these workshops does not lead to CWB or TSSA certification as they are designed for learning advanced welding techniques.
