Course Objectives:
Training the individual
student to become proficient and employable in the field
of Structural Steel Welding. This course is designed for
welders who may work in the areas of field construction
or shop manufacturing. A student may emphasize one area
over the other, depending on a student's employment
objective and overall capabilities.
Course Descriptions:
This program prepares a
graduate for journeyman level positions as a structural
welder or fitter or a combination structural
welder/fitter in the manufacturing or job shop area.
This course also prepares
the individual for structural welding and fitting
positions in the field construction industry, consisting
of shutdowns, turnarounds, add‑ons and new construction
of various plants including power plants, petro/chemical
plants, pulp and paper plants, food processing plants
and refineries

This course is a
competency based program. Students may progress at their
own pace per American Welding Society and American
Society for Mechanical Engineers Code Standards. It is
mandatory that the student shall complete 440 hours and
retain passing grades. A diploma and Welder Performance
Certification Papers will be issued when the student has
fulfilled the required elements. Students who have not
completed the required elements shall receive neither a
diploma nor Welder Performance Certification Papers.
The student's remaining
hours may be used for brush up to go to another job or
continue training in an area that the welder needs to
concentrate on for further employment opportunities.
Each day will be composed
of one hour of classroom lecture and seven hours of
hands‑on training in the shop.
