Program Information
This program offers students the most up-to-date instruction in SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) and OxyFuel Cutting, as well as Academic instruction which includes math, blueprint reading, drawing interpretation, welding inspection, shop maintenance and most importantly, general hot work safety. Students may also have the opportunity to try GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) with Aluminum and Stainless Steel, GMAW (GasMetal Arc Welding). Shop time focuses heavily on SMAW fundamentals with Mild Steel, although, as students progress through the program they may begin working with other processes and materials, when and if available. Students will proceed through each project at their own pace and receive individualized instruction regarding safety, quality and general welding techniques.
Upon successful completion of this program, it will be possible for students to graduate with American Welding Society’s welding code, D1.1 “Structural Steel”Certifications.
