Welding Certificates
Through a cooperative agreement with Warren Tech (the career and technical high school for Jefferson County Public Schools), RRCC students pursuing certain career and technical college degrees/certificates may take courses (on a space available basis) at Warren Tech (WT) which is adjacent to the RRCC campus. You must have graduated from high school, received a GED, or attained the age of 21. You pay RRCC tuition and WT program fees and your coursework is recorded on your RRCC transcript.
Classes follow the WT/Jeffco Public Schools' calendar. Deadlines and class start and end dates differ from those of RRCC. WT classes are conducted on a block schedule. The morning classes run Monday–Friday from 7:30–10:30 a.m. and the afternoon classes run Monday–Thursday from 12:00–3:45 p.m. For more information, see Warren Tech Students on page 12.
This program is designed to develop the skills necessary for entry-level employment in the welding industry. Entry-level welder certification from the American Welding Society may be earned upon completion of the program.
For the following certificates, you must complete WEL 100 Safety for Welders as a prerequisite course.
