Students must complete at least 70% of the courses required for the Certificate of Achievement in Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) which must be completed at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College (LATTC)

Students enrolling in this program should be able to commit to full-time student status, which is approximately 24 hours per week. This time commitment is necessary to allow for hands-on training with the laboratory applications used during the course of instruction.

Interested students will be able to voluntarily enroll in the program (courses)

 Upon completion student will:

Perform trade calculations related to welding, construction, and maintenance work

Demonstrates sustainable industry principles and practices in the Shielded Metal Arc Welding(SMAW) Process

Student will have the knowledge, aptitude, and skills necessary for employment in welding

 Our Mission is to offer innovative instruction and individualized guidance for the beginning welder as well as the professional welder. The welding program enhances the learning environment by generating a mix of classroom instruction with the latest technical welding processes in the lab. We are committed to offering a high-quality educational experience in a compassionate and respectful environment though pathways to academic, career, and transfer success and the empowerment of student employment. American Welding Society (AWS) and Los Angeles City Certifications, and an Associate in Science degree and Certificate of Achievement in Welding Gas and Electric.

According to the United States Department of Labor, the demand for students with Gas and Electric Welding skills will continue to increase in the future. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that Gas and Electric Welding related jobs are among the fastest-growing new or emerging fields in the United States. The new Certificate of Achievement in Gas and Electric Welding Shield Metal Arc Welding(SMAW) will expand the program, for students looking to update or upgrade their welding skills and enhance their marketability in the workforce, through the American Welding Society (AWS) standards with the completion of 18-semesterunits. Students may choose to continue their education to pursue a Certificate of Completion or an A.S. degree in Gas and Electrical Welding.
