Default Technical Classes/Courses

Wondering if anyone knows where they do different technical classes/courses as far as welding/automobile painting/etc. I've heard about this in the past but don't know where I can go and take these classes/courses. I'm not looking into having this as a career or going to school for 2 yrs or less on this. If you have any info on this let me know and where its located. Thanks!

Applied Welding Technology
Course Description: The purpose of this program is to prepare students for employment as welders in the fabrication and repair industry, as well as the construction industry. PTEC is an American Welding Society (AWS) accredited testing facility. The welding program combines theoretical instruction with hands on laboratory experiences to teach welding and cutting of metal by the oxy-acetylene and electric arc methods, as well as inert gas shielding welding (MIG) and (TIG). Students also learn metal layout and fabrication techniques, using special hand tools and machines.

Auto Collision Repair and Refinishing Apprenticeship
The purpose of this program is to prepare students for employment or advanced training in the auto collision repair and refinishing industry. The content focuses on broad transferable skills, stresses the understanding of all aspects of the repair and refinishing industry, and demonstrates elements of the industry such as planning, management, finance, technical and production skills, underlying principles of technology, labor issues, community issues, and health, safety, and environmental issues.



Forget highschools, they don't teach you everything, go to a real school that can get you certified.

I told him PTEC too.

The high school classes don't help any if you already graduated.
