Advanced GTAW and Visual Inspection

This certificate covers intermediate and advanced techniques of gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), visual inspection of as-deposited welds, and welding project management.  Students obtain preparation for various American Welding Society (AWS), American Petroleum Institute (API), and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) specifications and certifications. Specialty welding, such as advanced process GTAW, restricted position, and non-ferrous materials will also be covered. After completing this program, students will be ready for a job as a specialist to work with GTAW on metals that range from heavy plate and pipe to thin-gauge sheet metals.
