Description of Training Provider

HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, was established in 1964 and is the first and largest of Pennsylvania's 14 community colleges. HACC currently serves nearly 19,000 degree-seeking students and more than 6,000 workforce development students. T

Program Description

The Basic Welding Technology course introduces students to technical information and hands-on experience in basic welding skills, including the interpretation of typical welding drawings and symbols, shop math, measurements and blueprint reading for welders. Emphasis will be placed on personal safety and proper use of shop equipment and tools. Students will progress to learning and applying technical skills with hands on experience in flat, vertical, horizontal, and overhead position shielded metal-arc (SMAW), gas metal-arc (MIG), and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, in addition to other types of welds and joints. This course covers electrode sizes, common flaws, the analysis of operating principles, and the principles of non-fusion welding. Students will be able to demonstrate structural welding of steel (AWS D1.1) and have the opportunity to take the American Welding Society (AWS) certification upon successful completion of the course.
