East Arkansas Community College

School type: Community College

University of Arkansas-East Arkansas Community College offers a 31-credit Technical Certificate and a 9-credit Certificate of Proficiency in Welding Technology at its Forrest City campus. The longer certificate prepares students for entry-level welding work in manufacturing, construction, maintenance, and custom fabrication, with training in Stick, MIG, Flux-Core, and TIG welding, oxyfuel and plasma cutting, blueprint reading, industrial safety, and fabrication. The shorter certificate introduces welding principles, operations, symbols, piping and purging, and safety.
