WELDING TRAINING PROGRAMS

Welding is the most common way of permanently joining metal parts. In this process, heat is applied to metal pieces, melting and fusing them to form a permanent bond. Because of its strength, welding is used in shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing and repair, aerospace applications, and thousands of other manufacturing activities. Welding also is used to join beams when constructing buildings, bridges, and other structures, and to join pipes in pipelines, power plants, and refineries.

- Job prospects should be excellent.
- Training ranges from a few weeks of school or on-the-job training for low-skilled positions to several years of combined school and on-the-job training for highly skilled jobs.

• Welding Technology Program
The Welding Technology Program is a 68 quarter-credit -hour program. The majority of the course time is spent working with welding equipment and welding in the vertical, horizontal, and overhead positions. Practical applications of welding, namely, oxyacetylene, metallic arc, tungsten inert gas (TIG) and metal inert gas (MIG) are included in the program. Supporting classroom theory is given in welding theory, blueprint reading, and basic shop math, and gas welding.

The Combination Welding program trains students in shielded metal arc, gas MIG and TIG welding in preparation for employment in the building and construction industries, shipbuilding, manufacturing, and oil field services.

HoHoKus School of Trade and Technical Sciences, formally General Technical Institute, was founded in 1954.. The school has offered “hands on” training in most phases of welding where one learns by doing. The school has graduated nearly 10,000 students in 50 years. In the 1979 & throughout the 80’s, Code Certifications to the various codes were implemented so graduates qualified under the specialized career codes required to obtain employment. Contract Training is also offered for companies requiring updating in new welding fields.

Programs offered:
• Structural Plate Welding (AWS D1.1)
• Electric Pipe Welding
• Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAWP-U)
• Combination Welding (MG, TIG AND STICK) with Blueprint Reading and Shop Math
• Stick & TIG Pipe Welding
• 120 Certification (HELI-ARC)
