Johnson College’s two-year Associate Degree Welding Fabrication & Manufacturing Technology program will expand on our one-year welding certificate course. During the first year, students will learn about safety, hand tools, metallurgy, print reading, weld symbols, and different types of welding including Shielded Metal Arc (Stick) Gas Metal Arc (MIG), Gas Tungsten Arc (TIG), and Flux-cored Arc. Then during their second year, students will study custom fabrication, pipe welding, and fitting, basic rigging and shop drawings, piping layouts, and learn non-destructive testing methods. In addition to attaining American Welding Society certifications, our two-year program offers students the ability to test for American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) pipe welding certifications.

The one-year Welding Technology certificate course prepares students for entry-level work in the welding industry. Students learn about safety, hand tools, oxyacetylene torches, plasma arc, shielded metal arc welding (stick), gas metal arc welding (MIG), gas tungsten arc welding (TIG), flux cored arc welding, metallurgy, print reading, and weld symbols.
