The Welding Techniques certificate program enables students to gain an in-depth hands-on education in current welding techniques — working with the most current technology — and study the theory at the same time. Students will learn shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW).
Students will learn how to conduct a job search, maintain proper work documentation and communicate effectively on the job. Students will also study industrial practices in areas such as:
- Metallurgy (chemical processes)
- Safety
- Blueprints and construction documents
- Layout and fabrication
- Trade calculations
- Welding theory
