PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Review the entry requirements and ask which math and measurement skills to refresh.
Your complete timeline
2 years of program study. Prior credits, prerequisite placement and course availability can change your personal completion date.
Plan around the schedule
The college describes hands-on labs with an open-access model. Confirm the actual hours and campus for your classes.
Application and selection
Ask how to begin the AAS sequence and whether a shorter certificate fits your goal. Industry certification testing is a separate question.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
Which Redwood or Table Rock lab schedule can I attend, and what tools and protective clothing are required?
- Which required courses or placements are offered only once per year?
- Can you give me a written estimate covering every required term and practical expense?
- Which employment, transfer or licensing requirements remain after this award?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
Welding programs differ in processes, practice hours and fabrication content. Employer skill tests and certifications can be separate from a college award. Ask which processes are used by local employers.
