With 30 more credit hours you could obtain the associate-level degree and have advanced skills to further your career.
The Certificate of Applied Science in Welding provides instruction in all the popular welding processes. Upon mastery of these processes, students are assessed using the AWS Sense Level 1 examination. This certification usually will allow the student the opportunity to test for a potential employer in whatever code is required. Students studying on a full-time basis may normally expect to complete the certificate in one academic year. All credit earned may be applied to the AAS Degree in Welding Technology should the student subsequently choose to pursue the degree.
