Embark on a dynamic career path by actively cultivating and refining your expertise as a skilled welder through immersive hands-on training.
This is an NCCER-certified, four-level training program that starts with an introductory welding course where trainees learn several types of welds and weld techniques to identify, describe, and perform quality welds and welding drawings. The course progresses to equip participants on GTAW and SMAW in welding and alloy welding, and further focus on aluminum welding and aluminum pipe welding, soldering, and brazing.
