Stick Welding Industry Certification 16 Week Class

Pit Weld U - August 24, 2026 to December 17, 2026, is a 16-week career-based class designed for the individual looking to learn the ins-and-outs of the SMAW (stick) welding discipline, advanced torch cutting methods and print reading. SMAW is primarily used in structural and heavy equipment applications. As such, training during the course helps students obtain jobs in the machinery, construction and pipeline fields. Like PWU-100, students will also learn about welding safety and proper equipment setup and operation. Held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:00pm – 10:00pm, each students' tuition for the 16-week course includes an AWS Certified Welder Test (D1.1 code, single position 3/8” carbon steel plate test - student choice for plate thickness and test position). Each class is limited to a maximum of twelve students. Tuition is $4,250 and includes OSHA-10 certification.
