Naval Welding
Learn to construct the ships that facilitate global trade and protect our waterways. With a large portion of welders set to retire over the next decade, this industry is full of potential for newcomers. This advanced program begins in the classroom where students learn the theory, technical standards, and safety requirements of ship-building welding. After which, students will implement what they have learned by working to instructions that mimic manufacturing procedures.
Program duration: 450 hours (Full Time, 4.5 months)
Nondestructive Testing
Nondestructive testing technicians are an essential part of construction and manufacturing, both in the Navy and in the private sector. Using techniques like magnetic particle inspection, nondestructive technicians inspect the quality of welds and materials used in maritime construction and transportation. This means testing and assuring the quality of welds for ship and submarine parts, testing pipelines that carry hazardous materials like oil and nuclear elements, testing for small defects in parts, evaluating the condition and lifespan of equipment used in manufacturing, and more. Outside the Navy, this skillset can be applied to the construction of large buildings, machinery, and more.
Program Duration: 600 hours (Full-time, 6 months)
