Fundamental welding skills in the major processes should be acquired before specializing in a more advanced technique. Such courses are found in the Structural Welding Program. This program covers all processes and prepares the student for advanced and specialized positions. Only the Combination Structural and Pipe Welding and the Structural Welding programs listed on this page are approved by ACCSC and fall within the school’s accredited scope.
This sequence of courses is recommended for the student interested in the major welding processes for all position welding skills on plate and pipe, safety and technical information. The program includes the opportunity to test for five AWS®-QC7 National Welder Certifications during the hours of the applicable course after all other course requirements have been met; AWS® D1.1 Shielded Metal Arc Pipe 6G, AWS® D1.1 Structural Flux Cored, AWS® D1.1 Gas Tungsten Arc Pipe, AWS® D17.1 Gas Tungsten Arc Titanium, and AWS® D1.1 Gas Metal Arc (pulsed spray transfer.) Successful completion of this program gives the student the necessary welding skills required for entry level employment as a Combination Welder.

WELDING SKILLS TRAINING
The purpose of Welding Skill Training at the SEB Institute of Welding and Technology is to teach learners the welding techniques and manipulative skills required for each major welding process. Welding techniques are stressed above welding theory – as the learners must be able to meet the welding performance demands of industry. Consequently, a minimum amount of course time (10% to 20%) is spent in classroom study. The remaining time is used for supervised welding practice.
Students may take courses to develop skill in one major process in order to achieve broad welding skills, The learner may take courses as outlined in the accredited welding programs (see later pages). Only the Combination Structural and Pipe Welding and the Structural Welding programs listed in this document are approved by ACCSC and fall within the institution’s accredited scope. The training offered under “Welding Skill Training” as individual courses does not fall within the institution’s accredited scope.
