Welding Technology – Pipe (WELPO)

Award: Certificate of achievement

Program location: South Omaha Campus

This certificate of achievement provides students with basic welding skills needed to work in industries where welding of low-pressure pipe is required. Students who complete the program are exposed to print reading with special focus on interpreting welding symbols as well as skill training in oxy-fuel cutting, shielded metal arc welding (stick), gas metal arc welding (MIG) of steel pipe, and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) of plate.
