Central Arizona College

Central Arizona College offers separate structural-welding and pipe-welding pathways at Signal Peak Campus. Structural options progress from a fundamentals certificate through advanced fabrication training to an AAS, while pipe options progress from fundamentals through pipefitting/pipe-welding certificates to an AAS. Official curricula document substantial hands-on work in Stick, MIG, Flux-Core, and TIG as applicable, along with safety, cutting, drawing interpretation, fabrication, inspection, metallurgy, and pipe layout. A closed-enrollment welding certificate is also available to Pinal County high-school students.
