Welding

Basic Welding QuickJobs Day Program

The QuickJobs Basic Welding course offers the student introductory training needed to enter the welding profession. Upon completion of the course, the student will have competent training in safety, basic metallurgy, and industrial tool operation. Entry-level welding skills will include fillet and groove welding in basic positions using the (SMAW) process. The student will be required to perform welding to industrial standards such as the American Welding Society (AWS). Students completing this course will have entry level skills needed for construction positions and for general fabrication shops or be ready for the Intermediate Welding Class, which is the next level of training in the Day QuickJobs program.

Intermediate Welding QuickJobs Day Program

This course is offered to students who completed the Basic Welding QuickJobs Day course and is open to persons demonstrating necessary welding skills to the instructor. Students are trained in the following: personal safety (continuation); SMAW welding in non-standard positions - 2 weeks; Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) to include solid wire and dual shield flux cored wire in fillet and groove welding - 2 weeks; Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) in multiple positions and metals to include steel, aluminum and stainless steel - 4 weeks. The student will be required to perform welding to industrial standards such as the American Welding Society (AWS). Students completing this course will have basic and intermediate skills required as minimums for employment in the construction industry and fabrication shops, high-rise construction and maintenance welding and repairs.

Advanced Welding QuickJobs Day Program

This course is offered to students who completed the Basic and Intermediate Welding courses and is open to persons demonstrating advanced welding skills to the instructor. The student must show competency in Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding, and Gas Metal Arc Welding, or have completed the Entry and Intermediate Welding courses. The student will be introduced to high-pressure pipe welding. During the course, the student will be required to weld root passes, hot passes, and fill and cover passes to code requirements on various diameter pipe. This class is intense and prepares the student for testing to corporate standards such as the American Welding Society (AWS) and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) section IX. Students completing this course will possess skills required in the pipe welding and fabrication industry.

Includes welding open root joints using E6010 electrodes with E7018 intermediate passes and final cap. Prerequisite: CEWLD 820 Gas Tungsten Arc Welding.

Advanced Pipe Welding

Learn advanced methods and technique for welding 6 pipe using the SMAW and GTAW processes in multiple positions in accordance with AWS and ASME codes and standards. Includes welding open root joints using GTAW with intermediate passes and final cap using GTAW and SMAW. Prerequisite: CEWLD 830 Basic Pipe Welding.

Basic Welding for Home Projects

Learn the basics of stick welding, oxy-fuel cutting torches, and review MIG welding skills. With instructor approval and your own materials, our experienced instructors will guide you through the steps to begin your fabrication project. Previous projects have included artwork, oyster tables, carts, trailer repairs, and furniture. It is recommended to have completed the MIG or TIG welding course first, but it is not a requirement.

MIG Welding Basics

From thin gauge sheet metal to 1/2 thick steel, MIG welding (aka wire feed or GMAW) is versatile and easy to learn. From automotive restoration and boat trailers to lawn mower decks and works of art, this process covers all the bases. Our knowledgeable instructors will teach you about welding machine set-up, safety, and MIG welding basics even if you have no previous welding experience. Required equipment for class: welding helmet, welding cap, MIG gloves, safety glasses, welding jacket, MIG welding pliers, locking pliers, tape measure, work boots and flame- retardant clothing.

TIG Welding Basics

When precision and control are important, TIG welding (GTAW) is the gold standard. GTAW requires exceptional hand-eye coordination and concentration. Learn TIG welding basics on carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum. You can use this process to build racecar chassis and roll cages or repair pontoons and John boats. It is recommended to have completed the MIG welding course first, but it is not a requirement.
