A three-day introduction to the theory and practice of MIG welding.

Through practice and theory, you will be introduced into the field of MIG welding. This 3-day course will offer you the ability to learn the proper safety etiquette, machine maintenance, operate different machinery, and learn the different principles used to be able to successfully weld. After safety demonstrations, you will receive training by master welders where you will be given step-by-step demonstrations. Following this, you will practice what you learned with their help and guidance. Because you will be operating heavy machinery, proper attire is required. Students must wear steel capped safety shoes, along with full length cotton shirt/pants. Loose fabrics should be avoided, and glasses should be worn instead of contact lenses.

This course is for those interested in obtaining a CDL A and/or B license. Working with our state-certified examiners, students will participate in hands-on labs and classroom lectures, providing a well-rounded understanding of the material. Those who attend will learn what they need to know to take and pass the state permit exam at your local DMV. Once they obtain their permits, students will then be eligible to begin their road training. The opportunity to train with our professional instructors on a Tractor Trailer, Bus, and/or Box truck is invaluable and will give students real-world experience. As soon as training goals are met, students will be given two chances to take the road test and receive their license(s).

Requirements for Participants:

- Have a Pennsylvania State Licenses
- No physical restrictions
- Over the age of 18 (21 if transporting over state lines)
- Clean driving record
- Pass medical exam

Tuition: $5,485
