This school has 5 listed campus locations. Compare programs and confirmed locations.

Milwaukee Area Technical College offers a 17-credit Welding Fundamentals certificate, a 30-credit Welding technical diploma and a 61-credit Welding Technology associate degree. The entry-level credentials emphasize Stick, TIG, MIG and flux-cored welding with shop practice, layout and print reading. The associate program adds welding theory, materials testing, fabrication, welding codes, oxyfuel and arc processes, automated and robotic welding, and computer-controlled cutting equipment, with preparation for AWS Certified Welding Inspector testing. Current pages document welding instruction at Mequon, Oak Creek, West Allis, Downtown Milwaukee and the Education Center at Walker's Square, although the associate program page contains a location-label conflict that requires review.
