My son is a senior in high school and has taken several welding classes over the last few years. We just found out that there is a Welding program at Georgia Highlands College that looks interesting. It is about 15 mins away from home and he can take the classes in the evening after school. My concern is would this type of class/program actually do any good if he is just trying to get started in a welding career? Our plan was to enroll in a local votech program that lasts a few years and costs a little more. Are these SENSE and NWCA certs of any value when applying for an entry position in this field?
The class would provide level 1 of SENSE certification. It is the American Welding Society (AWS) Schools Excelling through National Skill Standards Education (SENSE) Level 1 and National Workforce Career Association (NWCA) Welding Technician Certification. After the course is completed, there is also an opportunity for the students take an externship with a local employer (optional).
