Community College of Allegheny County offers three current welding credentials at West Hills Center: a Welding Technology associate degree, an entry-level Welding Technology certificate, and a Welding, Gas and Oil certificate focused on pipe welding. The programs combine hands-on welding with blueprint reading and, for the associate pathway, mathematics and science. Current program descriptions explicitly prepare students for AWS structural plate, Flux-Core, and pipe qualification examinations, while the gas and oil certificate also addresses ASME and API pipe-welding tests.
