Coastal Carolina Community College

School type: Community College

Coastal Carolina Community College offers a 39-credit Welding Technology diploma plus Structural Welder, Combination Welder and Certified Welder certificates at its Jacksonville campus. The curriculum combines classroom instruction with substantial lab practice in Stick, MIG, Flux-Core and TIG welding, cutting, plate and pipe work, print and symbol interpretation, inspection and testing. The college also publishes separate noncredit welding classes, including training that may lead to AWS certification, but that evidence does not establish AWS preparation for the credit credentials.
