Project Description
Structural Welding
900 Clock Hours
Cost : $9,450.00
Start Date : 8/25/2021
Schedule : Mondays-Fridays, 8:30AM – 3:00PM
This program follows the American Welding Society (AWS) guidelines and incorporates an AWS certification examination into the curriculum. This program covers symbols, theory SM AW, GMAW, GTAW, ECAW oxyacetylene cutting plasma arc cutting, and carbon arc cutting. Students learn welding safety practices, equipment set-up weld quality, joint-fit-up weld symbols, print reading, properties of metal and trade math. Weld joints include multi-pass welds on tee-joints and various types of groove welds.
