WELDING TECHNOLOGY (WDT)
(Wallace and Sparks Campuses)

The purpose of this program is to prepare students for employment in the welding industry as plate or pipe welders. Certification is encouraged and performed in accordance with American Welding Society and American Petroleum Institute standards. The program includes a wide variety of welding experiences for plate and pipe welders. Students can exit the program after three semesters with a certificate in plate welding or complete both plate and pipe welding as listed below and receive a program certificate as a combination welder. Students must purchase their own books and tools. Admission is conditional and depends on the student's ability to perform the essential functions identified for this program. A high school diploma or GED is not required; however, students are required to have specifically documented ability to benefit. (See page 20, Admission to Courses Not Creditable Toward an Associate Degree.) Reasonable accommodations are considered.
