This certificate includes oxy-fuel cutting and welding, intermediate and advanced layout and fabrication, intermediate welding/multiple processes and special topics in welding.

This certificate includes introduction to, intermediate and advanced pipe welding, introduction to TIG welding and introduction to layout and fabrication.

This certificate includes introduction to oxy-fuel, introduction to MIG welding, and introduction to and intermediate and advanced SMAW.

Welding is the most common way to permanently join metal parts. Heat is applied to the pieces to be joined, melting and fusing them to form a permanent bond. Because of its strength, welding is used to construct and repair parts of ships, automobiles, spacecraft and countless other manufactured products. Welding is used to join beams in constructing buildings, bridges, pipelines, and pipes in nuclear power plants and refineries. All types of welding equipment is used in a variety of positions: flat, vertical, horizontal and overhead.

Welders may perform manual welding, controlled entirely by the welder, or semi-automatic welding, where the welder uses machinery such as a wire feeder to perform welding tasks. They generally plan work from drawings or specifications or by analyzing damaged metal, using their knowledge of welding and metals. They select and set up welding equipment and may also examine welds to insure they meet standards or specifications.

This course covers the theory and introduction to the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) processes. Skill in the welding process and the selection of materials and equipment will be stressed. The student will need to furnish own helmet, glasses and gloves.

This course is an intensive hands on training that will cover the following: Lab and Theory in Oxy-Acetylene cutting; Lab and Theory using multiple processes to include SMAW, FCAW, GMAW, and GTAW; Discussion and application of various joint design in multiple positions; Shop Practices; and Trouble Shooting.
