Anoka Technical College

School type: Public Technical School

Anoka Technical College offers a hands-on welding portfolio ranging from a 17-credit foundation certificate through a 34-credit diploma and 66-credit AAS degree. Advanced 17-credit certificates focus on fabrication and manual pipe welding, while an 18-credit certificate and 67-credit AAS cover robotic and laser welding. Coursework documented by the college includes major arc-welding processes, safety, blueprint reading, metals and equipment applications; the advanced pathways add weldment fabrication, pipe positions, laser operation and robot programming. Current program pages publish program-specific 2026-27 cost totals and identify AWS-certification preparation for the main welding and robotic or laser pathways.
