If you’re looking to break into the welding industry—or strengthen your skills to advance your career—AWS CE’s Job Ready Training Program is designed to help you take the next step with confidence. Built specifically for people entering the workforce, career changers, and working welders wanting to upskill, this program focuses on giving you the core practical skills that employers look for.

Our training is hands-on, industry-aligned, and delivered by experienced welding trainers with a deep understanding of Australian industry needs.

Choose Your Foundation: MIG, Stick, or TIG Welding

The Job Ready Training Program currently includes three core welding skill sets:

 

Basic MIG Welding (GMAW)

Perfect for beginners, this course teaches you how to set up equipment, prepare materials, and perform clean, controlled MIG welds used widely across fabrication and manufacturing.

Basic Stick Welding (SMAW)

Learn one of the most versatile and in-demand welding processes.

Stick welding is essential for structural work, construction, and outdoor environments where conditions are less controlled.

Basic TIG Welding (GTAW)

Ideal for precision and high-quality work, TIG welding is commonly used for stainless steel, aluminium, and specialised fabrication areas.

This course provides the foundation you need to produce clean and accurate welds.

Each course sets you up with the fundamentals required to begin work as a welder, enter an apprenticeship, or take on more responsibilities in your current role.

Coming Soon: Flux Cored Arc Welding – Early 2026

AWS CE is expanding the program with an additional course launching in early 2026: Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

High deposition rates, strong welds, and efficiency on heavy materials make FCAW a favourite in structural steel, fabrication shops, and site work. Keep an eye out for this new training option—perfect for those wanting to step into high-demand sectors.
