Mohawk Valley Community College offers a one-year Welding Certificate, a two-year Metal Fabrication AOS degree, and stackable microcredentials in fabrication, ornamental and structural welding. Current official curricula combine welding theory with substantial hands-on laboratory work in MIG, TIG, arc welding, oxy-acetylene processes, pipe work and several plasma and specialized arc-cutting techniques. The certificate and degree prepare students for welding certification exams, while the shorter microcredentials provide focused entry-level pathways.
