This comprehensive, hands-on course introduces students to key welding processes and their real-world applications in fabrication and metalworking. Designed for both beginners and those with some prior experience, the course emphasizes safety, skill development, and practical fabrication techniques.

Introduction to welding safety and equipment setup

Overview of core welding processes: SMAW (Stick), GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), and FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding)

Metal identification, preparation, and joint design

Blueprint reading and fabrication planning

Measuring, cutting, fitting, and assembling metal components

Hands-on welding practice in multiple positions and materials

Final project demonstrating fabrication skills

By the end of the course, students will have completed one or more small fabrication projects and will be equipped with the foundational knowledge and skills needed for entry-level employment or further welding certification training.

Protective gear required. No prior experience necessary. All tools and materials provided.
