About Great Bay Community College (school-wide)

Great Bay Community College is a public two-year college serving the New Hampshire Seacoast. Its selective 18-credit Welding Technologies certificate is delivered through three sequential six-credit welding courses with substantial shop time. The curriculum covers Stick, MIG, TIG and Flux-Core welding, oxy-fuel and plasma cutting, blueprint reading, electricity, safety, fabrication and quality control. Students advance from basic flat-position welds to out-of-position and advanced work, and the official catalog states that graduates are prepared for American Welding Society certification testing. Great Bay moved the welding program from its former Rochester facility to a newly constructed lab at the Portsmouth campus in 2026.
