Welding Fundamentals (Day Class)

This program focuses on the theory and application to provide essential skills in shielded metal arc welding, flux cored arc welding, gas metal arc welding, carbon arc gouging, oxyacetylene welding, plasma arc cutting, beveling and shearing. Upon successful completion of the course, students will sit for the American Welding Society D1.1 certification exam. 

This course is offered in collaboration with Texas A&M training partner, Texas Southmost College. 

NCCER Maritime Welding (Mon-Thur, 5:30pm-9:30pm)

Maritime Welding is one of the places to find a prosperous career as a welder is in the maritime industry. Shipyards and ship repair facilities are plentiful in coastal areas and on rivers and lake systems.  Maritime welding can be done on land or sea and above or underneath the surface of the water.  It includes the work on ships, boats, and off-shore oil rigs.  It includes the installation and repair of metal structures and components. 

This course is offered in collaboration with Texas A&M training partner, Texas State Technical College.

OSHA #511—Occupational Safety and Health Standards for General Industry

This course covers OSHA standards, policies, and procedures in the general industry. Topics include scope and application of the OSHA General Industry Standards, general industry principles and special emphasis on those areas in general industry which are most hazardous.

OSHA #3015—Excavation, Trenching and Soil Mechanics

This course covers the OSHA Excavation Standard and the safety and health aspects of excavation and trenching. Course topics include practical soil mechanics and its relationship to the stability of shored and unshored slopes and walls of excavations, the introduction of various types of shoring (wood timbers and hydraulic), soil classification and use of protective systems.

Additive Manufacturing Technology (Mon-Wed, 8am-12pm)

This program provides a comprehensive overview of and focuses on the methodology of additive manufacturing, including additive manufacturing technologies, processes, material selection, post-processing, and basic safety guidelines. Students will also learn the applications or products for which additive manufacturing offers added value when compared to traditional manufacturing. 

This course is offered in collaboration with Texas A&M training partner, Texas Southmost College.

HEP002-Backhoe Operator

This course provides entry-level operators with instruction on the proper operation of a backhoe and/or loader. Traditional classroom training provides participants with safe work practices, an understanding of machine mechanical systems and operational techniques. Hands-on exercises provide students with operational skills development designed to ensure proper use of the equipment.
