Stick & Flux-Core/Fabrication Program Description
The Certificate in Stick &amp; Flux-Core/Fabrication will prepare students for immediate employment – by first laying a strong foundation in the basics of the welding, cutting, and fabricating process, then allowing the student to specialize in one of two tracks, based on their area of choice. It is also possible for students to complete both tracks. Fabrication techniques and the ability to fabricate assemblies from construction drawings is emphasized in both certificate tracks. The programs are aligned with the American Welding Society (AWS) standards for entry level and advanced welder certifications. <br> <br>The accelerated training is offered in a cohort-style program that can be completed in one year. Courses are held in the evenings and online to allow students to maintain full-time employment throughout the program.
