The Professional Certificate in Welding Technology is a one-year certificate program and is based on four semesters of instruction and hands-on experience. Students will study oxy/acetylene welding and cutting; shielded metal arc welding (stick); gas metal arc welding (mig); gas tungsten arc welding (tig), and plasma arc cutting. All welding procedures follow American Welding Society (AWS) guidelines.

Welder qualifications are available for the successful student in AWS D 1.1 Structural Welding Code and ASME Section 9 (pipe). In the classroom, students will learn the technological information associated with welding processes and how to apply that information to practical use on the job.

This program meets the needs of both beginning and experienced welders who are seeking certification. Welders need good eyesight, hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity. Students should be able to concentrate on detailed work for long periods and must be able to lift up to 45 pounds, bend, stoop, crawl, kneel, climb ladders, and work in awkward and cramped positions. All students should be aware welding fumes produce a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm). Students should review the Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDS) available in the welding department located in the Fielding Technical Center, Room 270, to be aware of the hazards of welding fumes.
