Training Opportunities

The Journeyman Welder Program prepares students for entry-level employment in the welding field. Delta Tech€™s welding program provides students the skills and hands-on training needed to become a proficient pipe welder using SMAW and TIG processes. Welding classes teach students MIG & flux core welding and provide students skills in pipe welding and manufacturing.Delta Tech€™s welding training also teach field and shop safety, pipe fitting skills and basic blueprint readings. The Journeyman Welder Program offers a greater scope of welding processes and allows the student additional time to become polished in a certain specialty
