Description:
The Welding Technology Certificate of Achievement prepares students for work in areas of ship building, bridges and building construction, pipeline construction, refrigeration, missile and aircraft construction, automobile and related industries where metal must be joined together. Developments in metallurgy have created many types of metals which require new techniques.
Skilled welders are in demand in Sonoma County. Possible job titles include: Helper or Apprentice, Production Helpers, Welder, Welders and Cutters, Assembler/Production worker.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Interpret blue prints and identify welding symbols;
- Utilize the mathematic skills, as needed, in the fabricating industry;
- Demonstrate the knowledge and skills to safely use tools and equipment in a fabricating/welding shop;
- Identify the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous metals; and
- Demonstrate the ability to pass the American Welding Society Unlimited Structural Certification Test.

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.
