Sussex County Community College

Sussex County Community College offers a two-year Welding Technology option within its Technical Studies A.A.S. and a one-year Welding Technology certificate. The curricula combine classroom study with shop training in Stick, MIG, TIG, pipe welding, fabrication, and oxyfuel work. Students also study print interpretation, metallurgy, welding inspection and testing, and code-based weld qualification.
