Enhance employment opportunities by learning basic welding skills! The program emphasizes safety procedures while studying the operation of AC and DC power sources, weld heat, polarities, and electrodes for use in joining various alloys by the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process. Students will weld different types of joints in the following positions: flat plate (1G), horizontal (2g), vertical up (3G), and overhead (4g) positions. Upon completion, students are eligible to qualify for the D1.1 SMAW plate welder credential offered by the American Welding Society (AWS).

Program is designed for students with no previous experience in welding and those with limited welding experience who wish to upgrade their skills.

Note: Students must dress in work boots and fitted cotton clothing with no nylon properties. All protective equipment will be provided for use during class.
