About the Program
Welding is an important industrial skill, useful in a variety of areas. People trained in welding often find employment opportunities in the construction, agriculture, mining, transportation, aviation, and petroleum industries. The University of Alaska Fairbanks Tanana Valley Campus Welding Program is geared for beginning students who want to learn to cut and weld. The welding program also addressed the needs of the more advanced welder, offering training and opportunity to weld for certification on pipe and plate.
Training extends from welding basics to advanced pipe and metal plate fabrication. Classes are small in order to offer hands on training and maximize student-instructor interaction. Advanced students may work toward American Welding Society certification or pursue advanced projects. Our program emphasizes welding safety in every course and develops the student's ability to recognize hazardous situations encountered in the workplace.
Facilities and Instructors
The program is located in the newly renovated TVC Hutchison Center on Geist Road. Lecture material is complemented with complete audio-visual training aids, enabling students to progress at the maximum rate per class hour. Most of our welding courses are taught in the evening or on the weekend so as to accommodate the needs of students who have daytime jobs or are in the military. Many of our welding classes are military specific. Students are required to provide their own personal gear for the welding courses in which they enroll. A list will be provided by the instructor at the first class.
