The Structural Certificate is designed to provide students with basic welding skills needed to do structural welding either in construction (e.g., as an ironworker) or as a structural steel fabricator. Students who complete the program are exposed to printreading with special focus on interpreting welding symbols as well as skill training in oxyfuel cutting, shielded-metal arc welding (Stick), gas metal arc welding (MIG), flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), and gas tungsten arc welding (TIG).
