Welding NCCER Level 1 & 2 (Arc, MIG, & TIG) Employment

In this training course, the student will learn Welding Safety, Blue Print Reading, Construction Math, Material Handling, Oxyfuel Cutting, Plasma Cutting, Air-Carbon ArcCutting, Base Metal Preparation, Weld Quality, Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), SMAWBeads and Fillet Welding, Joint Fit-Up and Alignment, SMAW Groove Welds with Backing, Welding Symbols, Physical Characteristics and Mechanical Properties of Metals, Preheating and Post heating of Metals, and Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG & TIG). Additionally, the student will receive soft skills training (Resume writing, interviewing skills, dressing for success, and other jobseeking and job keeping skills) as part of their training. Craven Community College doesn't place the student in a job but does assist the student with job seeking if they are interested. Successful completion of the course and obtainment of certification makes the student highly employable in a career that provides above average wages nationally.
