Take a New Direction with MSC's Welding Program

Looking at a new direction of a better career? Check out the Maricopa Skill Center Welding program!

Welding is the process of joining together (metal pieces or parts) by heating the surfaces to the point of melting using a blowtorch, electric arc, or other means, and uniting them by pressing, hammering, etc. Students in the Welding program can learn various types of processes to prepare them for work in this industry.

Program details: 
Welding is a clock hour program; times for completion vary from 4 to 17.5 months depending on the number and type of processes certificates a student chooses. Day and night classes are available. Students are in class at least five hours a day, Monday-Friday.

What the students learn: 
MSC allows students a unique hands-on approach to learn the skills they will need to use in the welding industry. The program goes hand-in-hand by standards and practices outlined by the American Welding Society. Students have the opportunity to learn four welding processes.

TIG Welder
TIG welding process is where students learn to weld products made of alloys such as aluminum and stainless steel.

ARC Welder
ARC welding process is used to fit and tack metal on construction equipment, pipe systems, automobiles, ships, buildings and bridges.

FLUX-CORE Welder
Flux-Core welding is a process to fit and tack assemblies including construction equipment, pipe systems, ships, buildings, and bridges, using heavier materials.

MIG Welder
MIG welding will teach students how to weld any application using thinner and lighter materials in its construction.

Certificates:
Certificates can be earned in any combination of four processes in welding. Students can earn one certificate or can do a combination of two, three or four. There is also an opportunity if a student chooses to do a three combination of welding processes where they can elect to do an introduction into pipe welding. MSC only offers the intro to pipe welding when the student takes a three-process combination.

After graduation: 
Students can look forward to jobs in large or small shops, manufacturing facilities, marine and watercraft industries and construction sites.

  6. The ability to reach such high temperatures makes this welding process one of the third hottest flames produced. Compared to an acetylene torch which is only capable of reaching a temperature of 3300 degrees Celsius, atomic hydrogen welding is much hotter than the average welder is used to working with.
