We can prepare you for a welding career in just two semesters. Students can start in Welding I or Welding II. Upon successful completion of each course, students will be able to obtain certifications from the American Welding Society (AWS). Every AWS certification that a welder earns increases the number of skills needed to perform a wide range of welding jobs. Students must bring their own welding helmet, gloves, clear safety glasses and long sleeves to class.
In addition, we offer basic welding classes to teach you foundational welding skills to make minor repairs.
