If you’ve been working as a welder for
several years, you’re eligible to earn your Red Seal Endorsement for welding.
Some welders are hesitant to earn their Red Seal as they’re already comfortably
employed and don’t want to invest the time and money, but these welders haven’t
considered the many benefits that come with being a Red Seal welder. Earning
you Red Seal is crucial to finding greater success as a welder, and it has
never been easier to challenge the exam thanks to Ashton College’s continuing education courses. We’re going to tell you exactly why you should become a Red
Seal welder, and how Ashton College can help you get there with their Welder
Red Seal Exam Prep course.
National Recognition
A Red Seal Endorsement is a standard of
excellence that is recognized across Canada. What this means for you is that
you can take your welding skills to any place in Canada without any issues.
Uncertified welders who move to a new province have to deal with the provincial
regulating body there to see if their experience is valid, but this is not the
case for Red Seal welders. Having a Red Seal Endorsement means you can easily
move to wherever the best work opportunities are.
Better Job Opportunities
Red Seal welders have access to more job
opportunities, not only because they can work anywhere in Canada, but because
employers look for Red Seal welders to fill high-value positions within their
company. With a Red Seal Endorsement, welders can find work as a lead hand,
welding supervisor, welding inspector, or as a project manager. Red Seal
welders can also find work in industries that the average welder cannot. Certain industries require Red Seal welding
expertise due the specialized nature of the work they’ll be performing. Being
officially recognized as a skilled trades worker is the best way to move ahead
with your career.
Better Wages
Employers value Red Seal welders and are
willing to pay more for their labour. Not only does having a Red Seal
Endorsement open you up to new job opportunities, that are often higher paying,
it also allows you to negotiate for better wages in your current position.
Validates Foreign Experience
If you’ve been working as a welder outside
of Canada and you’re looking to move into the Canadian job market, then
becoming a Red Seal welder will enable you to keep your career on track. By
earning a Red Seal Endorsement, you have nationally recognized proof of your
skills, and you won’t have to go through a lengthy apprenticeship program in
Canada.
Exam Prep
To earn your Red Seal Endorsement, you’ll
have to pass the Red Seal Exam for welders. Ashton College’s Red seal exam preparation provides you with the knowledge and confidence you need to
successfully challenge the test. The course is taught by industry professionals
