Our Welding Technology – Intermediate Level II certification program teaches you about tungsten inert gas (TIG) metal inert gas (MIG) welding. Instruction topics include shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), fabrication, certification practices, and symbols and specifications.
This is a certificate program and requires fewer credits and less time to complete than a degree or diploma program. Certificate programs can be taken alone but are often taken along with other Industrial Manufacturing programs.
The Welding Technology program also offers degree, diploma, and additional certificate options.
