About Cleveland Community College (school-wide)

Cleveland Community College offers a stackable credit curriculum in welding technology, currently led by a 36-38-credit diploma and four focused certificates. Coursework combines classroom and lab application in cutting, print reading, welding symbols, inspection and testing, fabrication, and plate and pipe welding with Stick, MIG, Flux-Core, and TIG processes. Separate continuing-education offerings provide four progressive NCCER welding levels, including all-position plate work and advanced GTAW, while a third-party-supported online welder technician course provides an overview and virtual labs. Current class schedules show both daytime and evening curriculum sections.
