Metal Fabricator
Diploma Program
Next Course Date:
August 25th 2025
Tuition: $15,120
Additional Fees: Textbooks, CWB Testing, Supplies
Program Duration: 24 Weeks (720 hours)
This Metal Fabricator (Fitter) Diploma Program provides students with a combination of job entry skills and the knowledge required for today’s fabrication and welding field.
Students will spend much of their time applying theory to practice in a well equipped fabrication and welding facility. Student will perform a series of metal fabrication projects from pre-engineered drawings. During these projects students will be required to fabricate the pre-engineered designs by utilizing raw material and the theory acquired from the classroom. All projects will be inspected and graded based on layout, cutting, proper fitting processes to the welding procedure, inspection and quality control phases. Completion of the projects will require the students to utilize both conventional and computer controlled fabrication equipment (CNC).
Students will be able to interpret various pre-engineered blueprints, prepare material with various cutting processes, form object with various metal working equipment, assembling / fitting and welding with different welding process while utilizing sheet plate, structural shapes and pipe.
Some subject including;
- Oxy-acetylene cutting
- Plasma Arc cutting
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding
- Gas Metal Arc Welding
- Flux Core Arc Welding
- Gas Tungsten Arc Welding
- Carbon Arc Gouging
- Plasma Arc Gouging
- Basic Blueprint Reading
- Advanced Blueprint Reading
