Red Seal Program
As a welder, you have probably wanted greater mobility across the provinces and territories to maintain continual employment and growth. Since 2000 with the establishment of the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program, welders in Ontario can now expand on their credentials. Journeypersons can challenge the “Red Seal” exam. The examination is instituted by the Ministry of Training Colleges & Universities. But how long has it been since you cracked a book? Let Can-Weld Training & Testing Centre in association with Mark Abraham Consulting Services help you achieve your goals!
The Interprovincial (IP) Red Seal Certificate of Qualification Examination evaluates the ability to perform skills within the trade. As a designated RED SEAL TRADE the Welder Examination is based on the skills as identified and agreed to by all participating provinces and territories in Canada.
Through our services we will establish your strengths and weaknesses in the theory of welding and have a Red Seal Certified Instructor customize a study package designed specifically for your needs. This package will be your study material along with “one-on-one” correspondence support. Along with this there will be ample practice testing before registering to write the actual Certificate of Qualification Examination (C of Q Exam) with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
However, prior to registering to challenging the C of Q Exam for Welders the following must be completed:
If you are a Journeyperson Welder you must:
• Hold a current practical CWB or TSSA certificate/ticket.
Note: Must be a member of a union that welding is a component.
If you are an established Non-Union Welder you must:
• Hold a current practical CWB or TSSA certificate/ticket.
• Provide proof of competency in all mandatory skills as identified in the Training Standard.
