Skilled Welders are always in high-demand. Basic welders, like tack welders, fuse metals together with heat, while more skilled welders like construction and fitter welders work in more complex environments, joining beams and other structures, or assembling and repairing piping systems.
The Certificate of Technical Studies program gives students the knowledge they need to start out in any of the many career options for welders.
The Student Learning Outcomes for this programs are:
- Students learn and practice industrial safety rules and regulations at OSHA standards.
- Students learn and practice: using industrial tools; cutting metal; prepping metal for fabrication; setting up and properly using welding machinery; and how to prep for and pass a bend test for welding certification.
- Students learn and practice the skills necessary to successfully weld at industry standards in all levels of SMAW, MIG, Flux-core, TIG, Open Root, and Pipe welding.
- Students are given the opportunity to test with an American Welding Society inspector for certification at the end of each term.
Available Programs:
- Career and Technical Certificate, Shielded Metal Arc Welding
- Certificate of Technical Studies, Intermediate Welding
- Technical Diploma, Combo Welder
