Welding
The program begins with a comprehensive review of safety protocols and materials commonly used in the welding industry. Classroom instruction is reinforced through hands-on practice and skill development in key welding techniques. Students will gain experience in Oxy-Acetylene cutting, Brazing, and Arc Welding in all positions using 6010 and 7018 electrodes. In addition, the curriculum provides an introductory overview of TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, allowing students to explore this precision welding process.
Students who successfully meet all program requirements will have the opportunity to take the American Welding Society (AWS) Basic Welder (1-G) certification test, which will be administered on-site. This certification serves as an industry-recognized credential demonstrating foundational welding competency.
