Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College offers a stackable Welding program leading to Welder Helper Level I and Level II Certificates of Technical Studies and a 45-credit Welding Technology Technical Diploma. The curriculum progresses from foundational Stick welding into 2G, 5G and 6G pipe welding, TIG on steel and aluminum, MIG and flux-core welding. Official program outcomes also cover oxyfuel, carbon-arc and plasma cutting. Courses use short terms, and the school explicitly positions completers for the American Welding Society Entry Level Welder test.
