The Welding Program at Everett Community College offers a wide variety of classes to meet the needs of students whose goals range from those seeking employment in the Metal Trades Industry to the home hobbyist. Classes are offered both days and evenings.

We teach all major welding and cutting processes, including: SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, FCAW-S, GTAW, OAC, PAC; welding on mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum; hand and machine torch cutting; and field welding techniques. Extensive classes in Blueprint Reading, Layout and Metallurgy are offered.

The emphasis in the Welding Program is not only on welding skills, but also on fabrication techniques, which is a unique feature of the EVCC program. This series of classes includes Heavy Plate Fabrication, Sheetmetal Fabrication, Pipefitting and Pipe systems Fabrication, Structural Steel Fabrication, and Field-Welding techniques.

Students may choose to take individual skills enhancing classes or select from two Certificate Programs or two 2-year ATA Degrees (see links to the right). W.A.B.O. state welding certification tests are available to our students and to the public by appointment.

Articulation agreements with Sno-Isle Tech and other local high school welding programs are also an option.

The Welding Program stays current with industry needs through an active Advisory Committee made up of representatives from local businesses that regulary seek our graduates for employment.
