Welding - Welder Helper

Renton Technical College ETPL BEdA

This program is designed to prepare welders for job entry in most phases of the welding industry. The certifications in this program are progressively sequenced for multiple completion points, and the student must take each certification in order, unless prior learning is deemed satisfactory. Classroom and practical experience is offered in the seven most common manual and semi-automatic welding processes; OFW (gas), SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, GTAW, SAW (arc) (MIG and TIG) welding. The instruction in this program is hands on individualized as well as group lessons. Previous experience determines a student’s starting point. A student’s motivation and ability to move through the program competencies will determine the level of achievement in each welding process. Washington state welder certification, WABO (Washington Association of Building Officials) is available in six of the arc welding processes. This program articulates with Tech Prep programs through the Puget Sound Dual Credit Career Consortium.
