Filling the Gap

Updated December 19th, 2022
Congratulations to the group of 10 students who attended the filling the gap welder program at the Nova Scotia Training Centre. With lots of hard work and dedication the group achieved plenty of success. There were a total of 26 welding tickets acquired over the 8 week program. We would also like to thank Ready Arc training & Testing for their partnership and Mark Palmer for instructing. We are extremely happy with the success of the program.
