2022-2023 Welding and Fabrication Advanced Applications (CVWLDN)

Description

This advanced certificate combines welding fundamentals with more complex welding, cutting and fabrication techniques and applications aimed to further develop one's skills and core competencies. Students focus on welding using processes and positions common in industry, perform destructive and non-destructive testing, identify weld failures and perform root cause analysis, executive repair techniques, perform advanced fabrication techniques and execute automated welding and cutting programming and operations. Students who successfully complete this advanced certificate will have learned a broad range of essential skillsets critical to the trade and how to apply those skills to manufacturing, automotive, construction, aerospace, oil, military industry, gas and power industries.
