The Welding Technologies Career Certificate (previously PSAV) prepares students for high-demand jobs in construction, manufacturing, repair, and maintenance industries as welders, welder helpers, welder assemblers, production line welders, and flame cutters. In a hands-on learning environment in conjunction with classroom lessons, students will be introduced to the fundamental aspects of the trade, including workplace safety, blueprint reading, metallurgy, various welding processes, and techniques. Students develop proper skills more quickly and with increased accuracy, which allows them to accelerate technique proficiency.
