South Plains College provides hands-on Welding Technology education through an Associate of Applied Science and Basic and Advanced Processes certificates. Official curriculum and faculty materials document MIG, TIG, Stick, Flux-Core, pipe and plate welding, oxyfuel work, fabrication, fitting, layout, metallurgy, and inspection/testing instruction. The program participates in AWS SENSE, with Basic and Advanced pathway work tied to AWS Entry Level and Advanced Welder performance standards. Welding is documented at Levelland, Lubbock Career & Technical Center, and Plainview, although the future of the Plainview Center requires review.
