Welding II builds on the skills and knowledge developed in Welding I, with increased emphasis on technique refinement, positional welding, and career readiness. Students gain additional hands?on experience safely operating oxy?acetylene, MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), and arc welding equipment. Instruction focuses on developing consistent weld quality while welding in multiple positions, including flat and vertical orientations. Students continue to strengthen process-selection skills and apply industry?standard practices in preparation for advanced training and American Welding Society (AWS) certification pathways. For safety reasons, students must wear long?sleeve shirts, long pants, and hard shoes. Course cost includes additional required personal protective equipment and basic tools. Prerequisite: Welding I or equivalent experience.
