Cochise College offers an Associate of Applied Science and seven focused welding certificates covering general welding, aerospace welding, AWS D1.1 structural welding, fundamentals, motorsports, and pipe fitting. The curriculum combines shop training with blueprint interpretation, welding-code study, visual inspection, and process-specific practice in MIG, TIG, Stick, and Flux-Core welding. The college operates an AWS Accredited Test Facility and offers on-site testing for AWS D1.1 and D17.1, API 1104, and ASME Section IX certifications. Current degree maps place the broader AAS, General Welding, and Welding Fundamentals pathways at both Douglas and Sierra Vista; the remaining specialized certificates are at Sierra Vista.
