Welding 10 (Core)
Welding 10 combines introductory modules in oxy-acetylene, electric arc, and metal inert gas (MIG) welding providing students with knowledge and skills in each of the three types of welding. The curriculum guidelines use theory and practice, including a variety of practical projects that allow students to develop practical skills.
Welding 20 (Core)
Welding 20 provides students with intermediate knowledge and skills in oxy-acetylene electric arc and MIG welding. Various practical projects at the intermediate level are available for use with Welding 20, enabling students to enhance practical welding skills.
Welding A30 (Core)
Welding A30 provides students the opportunity to develop advanced knowledge and skills in each of oxy-acetylene, electric arc, and MIG welding. A range of advanced practical projects enable students to enhance welding knowledge and skills at the advanced level.
NOTE: Completion of Welding 10, 20, and A30 provides students with the theoretical knowledge and skills included in Level I of the Welding trade as outlined by the Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Unit of Saskatchewan Post-Secondary Education and Skills Training (SPEST).
Students who successfully complete Welding 10, 20, and A30 will be afforded the opportunity to write the Level I examination for Welding administered by the Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Unit of SPEST. For more information on trade pathways see Appendix A in this document.
Welding B 30 (Core)
Welding 10, 20, and A30 are prerequisite to Welding B30. Students who have successfully completed Welding 10, 20, and A30, and who intend to pursue a career in the Welding trade may enrol in Welding B30. This course provides students with the opportunity to enhance the knowledge and perfect the skills developed in Welding 10, 20, and A30. Welding B30 provides students an opportunity to select from a variety of practical projects and to explore independent learning opportunities to advance knowledge and skills further. B30 provides students with a greater opportunity for successful completion of the Level I exam in the Welding trade. Students who are seriously considering post-secondary education or training in the Welding trades are encouraged to enrol in Welding B30.
Work Study provides the opportunity for students to practice skills, learn industry standards for quality of work, develop employability skills, explore possible career choices in the welding industry, and learn about technical equipment and procedures not available in the school setting. Refer to the Work Study Guidelines, a section of the Practical and Applied Arts Handbook and the Work Experience Education Guidelines (1989), for information on required and best practices for student preparation, employer partnerships, and teacher responsibilities.
Note: the Work Experience Education Guidelines are being renewed as the Career and Work Exploration Guidelines.

Student evaluation is an important part of teaching as it allows the teacher to report the successes and challenges of the student to the parent. Evaluation also provides valuable feedback about how a student learns best. It is important that teachers use a variety of evaluation strategies to evaluate student progress. Additional information on evaluation of student achievement can be found in Student Evaluation: A Teacher Handbook (Saskatchewan Education, 1991).
It is important that the teacher discuss with students the evaluation strategies to be used in the course, when the evaluation can be expected to occur, the weighting of each evaluation strategy, and how it relates to the overall student evaluation. The weighting of the evaluation should be determined in relation to the amount of time spent and emphasis placed on each area of the course, as suggested in these curriculum guidelines.
The Welding curriculum provides many opportunities for teachers to use a variety of instructional and evaluation strategies. Included in this guide are sample checklists for student skills. Samples are included in Appendix B and C.
