Want an education that joins you with high paying jobs?  Take a look at our Welding programs, where you can study the fundamentals or pursue more specialized skills. Using the Contren Learning Series as our manuals, our students are trained according to the National welding codes and given credit through the National Center for Construction Education and Research. Our well-equipped facility attracts students from as far away as West Virginia and New York, and thanks to the level of hands-on preparation they receive, they leave prepared to work for sheet metal fabricators, construction firms, plant maintenance providers, auto body welding companies, major construction companies, and nuclear power jobsites. We have an excellent track record of success, producing many graduates who have won not only excellent jobs but have also placed at the top of national welding competitions.

Our welding program is accredited through the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). All instructors bring to the classroom and welding lab many years of experience ranging from local fabrication shops to performing x-ray quality welds on pipes in the nuclear power industry. They are Certified Craft Instructors through the (NCCER) and each possesses many certifications through the American Welding Society and the American Society for Mechanical Engineers Section IX (ASME).

We offer dual credit classes with selected high schools in Greenville County. This gives high school students the opportunity to earn college credit. Also, we offer articulation to some schools outside our service area.
