Testimonials

“… after passing the Pressure Welding test, I celebrated, even my whole family were in awe… I will admit, on my drive back, I broke down in tears, I was so happy, I couldn’t believe I did it… A good feeling, that’s for sure.”
Jonathan CaronJourneyperson
“[the training] is amazing! Honestly, the teachers are really dedicated to helping us, they are always checking up on us in the booths, and if you ever have any questions, you can ask them… I am a visual, hands-on person, and they (the instructors) are there to show you physically how it’s got to be done and it helps me to visualize it an ask the questions I have.”
Journeyperson
“I have recommended a lot of my friends to take the course, it’s pretty helpful! It was a lot of work, but it paid off. I wouldn’t be able to do it without this program.”
Adrian ChapmanJourneyperson
“I would 100% recommend this training to everyone, especially to the apprentices who just don’t have a lot of weld time… this [training] is a godsend to have this much shop time… you have the instructors to help you out, it is worth it for sure.”
Valery MakaravApprentice
“There is a moment with each student; when theory, concept and hours of repetition in their welding booth all come together. I call it the “ ah ha” moment. The lights come on; it all makes sense. It is that look of acknowledgement from the student and the smile they give me, that makes it all worth while. This is the point when I know we were successful.”
Jared BradleyWeld centre coordinator/examiner
“… has a passion for the job and has shown great determination and is always on time, ready for work. Great apprentice who always listens to instruction.”
MelloySuncor Fort McMurry
“The UTIP pressure welding pilot course was extremely successful, as it provided highly skilled tradespeople into our industry. It was a privilege to be apart of this project. We are very proud of the accomplishments the welders and apprentices achieved from the course.”
Doug MunchMaster Instructor
“(this training) 100% gave me the tools to find employment… if you do the welding, you can take that anywhere…You learn the tools to become better at the trade and then the skills that you learn here they’re transferable. With a program like this, it's designed for you to focus on the task, and it all comes down to how fast you want to excel through it. If you focus and you buckle down and get it done, then you just succeed that much faster.”
Joshua Earls Apprentice
“I highly recommend this training, especially to someone in my position, the welding is very different. With this training, I was able to get so many more tickets which will give me better opportunity to provide for my family.”
Krystian MathewsFilling the Gap student
“I love to weld and I love to learn. If my weld is not okay, I always say ‘show me how to do it’ and I will start again until I get it right. I would like to work not only here, but across Canada. Once I get my qualified from this training, then I will be able to travel for work. Nothing can stop me now.”
Maryse TherriaultFilling the Gap student
“This training is great because you get experience, you get practice time and on top of that you get welding tickets. If I was on the other end, I would sign up for this training 100%. Anybody who wants to have a career in welding, and wants to get better, this is the way to do it. This is about getting better everyday…The sky is the limit with this training, no matter how experienced you are when you enter the training.”
Mark PalmerFilling the Gap Instructor
“… seems passionate about his chosen career of being a Boilermaker. His determination and willingness to be better is huge and is eager to learn both general and specific industry skills. While employed with us he has worked on pressure vessels, drums, towers, and exchangers. He is my go-to apprentice and will become an exceptional journeyman welder.”
MelloySuncor Edmonton Refinery
“She is a very good worker taking all the knowledge given to her. She will make a great welder and member for our local. I support her for any awards she may be eligible for and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
Babcock & WilcoxSuncor Fort McMurry
“Great worker, team player and eager to contribute. He is a great asset to our crew.”
