At Crowder College, we understand just how important your future is, not just for you, but for your family as well. Obtaining an education in the field you love is just the beginning to a promising future! Let Crowder College help you accomplish your goals by enrolling in our Welding Technology Program.
Crowder is currently offering four different college-level certificates in welding, three of which focus on one of the major welding categories: GMAW (formerly MIG Welding), GTAW (formerly TIG Welding), and SMAW (formerly "Stick" Welding). The fourth certificate incorporates all three of these traditional areas.
Each program begins with the basics of welding, eventually leading to more advanced classes. Students will learn basic safety procedures, and different arc welding methods and techniques.
Courses are designed based upon the skills and experience employers are looking for. Also, with smaller classrooms, students have access to more resources. This provides a better learning experience for the student as well as giving the student the opportunity to aquire more hands-on experience.
