  Welding Technology offers a guide to skills and knowledge in the safe operation of the following: oxyacetylene flame cutting; plasma cutting; welding and brazing equipment; electric arc welding equipment for shielded metal arc, gas metal arc, flux-core arc welding, and gas Tungsten arc welding equipment. Safety and performance are foremost and are stressed throughout the program. All position welding is included, with a major emphasis on out-of-position welding and performance testing. Also included in referenced texts as related instruction are electrode classification, chemical and physical structure of metals, joint design, methods of testing, welding procedures, welder qualifications, welding codes and specifications, blueprint reading, and basic layout. Passage of The American Welding Society Test is required for graduation.
