This certificate provides detailed knowledge of welding principles as applied to modern manufacturing processes and applications. It will provide the student with the requisite advanced skills necessary to weld in today’s technological environment. The Welding Technologies and Fabrication certificate is a practical and “hands-on” program designed to teach the technical skills required to be successful in the welding trade. This curriculum is a mix of theory and practice focusing on the four major welding processes, automation, and fabrication. The student who completes the Welding and Fabrication Technologies certificate program has a choice to pursue employment or to matriculate in an associate degree program.
The Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) certificate program is designed to qualify students in the shielded metal arc welding processes on either plate or pipe in accordance to the American Welding Society (AWS) or the American Petroleum Institute (API) welding procedures. These courses can be offered concurrently as CEU courses.
Successful completion of the Welding Technology certificate gives you the necessary welding skills required for employment as a non-code combination welder or welder’s helper.The certificate is also a building block for the Welding Technology A.A.S. degree. Completion of the certificate fulfills some of the academic program’s first-year credit requirements and can be applied directly toward the degree.
The Welding Technology curriculum provides students with a sound understanding of the science, technology, and applications essential for successful employment in the welding and metalworking industry.Instruction includes consumable and non-consumable electrode welding and cutting processes. Courses may include math, print reading, metallurgy, welding inspection, and destructive and non-destructive testing providing the student with industry-standard skills developed through classroom training and practical application.Graduates of the Welding Technology curriculum may be employed as entry-level technicians in the welding and metalworking industries. Career opportunities also exist in construction, manufacturing, fabrication, sales, quality control, supervision, and welding-related self-employment.
This area of study prepares students to install and maintain electrical systems found in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The program combines hands on training with classroom instruction that will provide the knowledge and skills students need to succeed in the growing electrical field.

The additive manufacturing industry is continuing to grow and is set to more than double its market value in the next 10 years. As companies strive to keep pace in this fast-growing industry, there has been an uptick in the hiring rate of applicants with foundational expertise in additive and 3D design. Featuring DPT 100 and DPT 150, which are the fundamental courses of SCCs' additive manufacturing (AM) program, this program was developed to quickly and efficiently establish the skills needed for K-12 students, college students, and business professionals to implement advanced manufacturing methods and 3D printing effectively, no matter the career path or industry. These courses are offered in person and online to ensure anyone can attend, regardless of location.
Skills developed throughout this program include advanced manufacturing methods, materials, and their use cases, troubleshooting, safety procedures, AI utilization, topology optimization, finite element analysis, generative design, reverse engineering, cost analysis, and manufacturing optimization.
This certificate is also stackable if the student wishes to continue and receive our more extensive "3D Printing Technician - Level 1" certification.
The Climate Control Technology program is designed to prepare students for a career in the fields of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration.
The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in CNC Engineering Technology builds on the AC in CNC Engineering Technology adding in the additional materials, Computer Aided Manufacturing and Advanced Metrology skills students need when pursuing careers in advanced manufacturing. Students in this program are looking to pursue careers leading teams and solving problems for manufacturing employers in the metal working industries that are increasingly becoming more automated and integrated with advanced technologies.
The Associate in Applied Science degree in Advanced Manufacturing with a concentration in Industrial Maintenance/Instrumentation will prepare graduates for employment as entry-level instrumentation technicians. Concepts covered in teh concentration include electronics for electricians, instrumentation circuits and systems, transducers, detectors, actuators, control devices, and fundamentals of pressure, force, weight, motion, liquid level, and fluid flow.
The Industrial Production Technology program is designed to prepare students for entry level jobs in paper and chemical process industries.This is a career program designed for students to go directly into the labor market upon completion. Although some of the courses in this program will transfer to four-year institutions, this program is not designed to be a transfer program of study; therefore, it is not subject to the terms and conditions of Alabama Transfers state transfer and articulation reporting system.
