The program offers Welder Qualification according to the American
Welding Society's Structural Steel Code. Successful candidates of the
test are issued documentation stating that they are qualified to weld in
accordance with the appropriate code.
All graduates of the Welding program receive a Certificate indicating
that they have successfully completed the program.
Students also are required to take a comprehensive written and
performance test which upon successful completion leads to the issuance
of a Pennsylvania Skills Certificate by the State of Pennsylvania. This
certificate is recognized by employers as proof that the student has
demonstrated competency in both the knowledge and skills necessary for
successful entry into their chosen career area.
Completion of an accredited apprenticeship program, after graduation
from SUN, leads to certification as a Journeyman Welder. Some
apprenticeship programs offer SUN graduates advanced standing, thus
shortening the usual 4-5 year program.
Certifications verify an individual's commitment to excellence in
his/her trade and are viewed favorably by employers.
