WELDING FABRICATION & MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY
Certificate of Proficiency
60 Credits

Students learn welding skills used in construction projects, manufacturing, industrial plants, and in maintenance industries. Using the latest welding processes and techniques, students learn to read blueprints and fabricate products in a variety of shapes and sizes. Students prepare to take the Washington Association of Building Officials (WABO) test.

Welding Fabrication and Maintenance graduates will:

• Be prepared for a range of entry-level positions as welder apprentices, welders, welder fabricators, welding fitters.
• Be prepared to succeed on the WABO certification and similar industry exams.
• Meet the Washington Association of Building Officials (WABO) skills standards and can perform setup, fabricating, troubleshooting, welding, cutting, bend testing, and evaluation for certification.

Admission Dates: fall, winter, spring, summer.
