  • 1,300 Hour Master Welder Program
    Building & Construction

    This extensive welding training course is perfect for both beginners and welders with some experience who are interested in taking their structural or pipe welding skills to the maximum. Our hands-on training accounts for over 95% of this program and will allow you to develop and advance your craft in GMAW, SMAW, FCAW and GTAW in the shop and on our outdoor simulators. There are two advanced specialization tracks you can choose from: Advanced Structural Welding or Advanced Pipe Welding.

    Upon completion, you can earn three Arclabs certifications in GMAW/FCAW on 3g plate, SMAW/GTAW on 3g plate, and SMAW/GTAW on pipe (if the advanced pipe specialization is chosen). You’ll have all the skills you need to work as an entry-level structural or pipe welder in the construction or industrial field anywhere you choose in the country.

    Students will have the option to choose between two advanced specializations that focus on specialty metal:
