Hopkinsville Community College offers stackable welding credentials at its North Drive campus. Students may pursue a 60–68-credit Welding Technology Associate in Applied Science, a 48–55-credit Combination Welder diploma, or focused certificates in arc cutting, AWS/SENSE Level I, MIG, gas welding, production-line welding and welder-helper skills. Required curricula combine hands-on shop laboratories with cutting, blueprint reading, Stick, TIG and MIG instruction; some MIG plans permit Flux-Core work.
