How Long Does It Take to Complete the Training Program?
The Earlbeck Technical Center offers accelerated welding classes through our college partnerships that help you build skills faster than a traditional program. Your progress depends on your schedule, pace, and the level of training you choose.Students who complete our intermediate and advanced classes* may be eligible to take industry-recognized welding certification tests. Certification is only awarded if all required tests are passed.The length of the program depends on how many classes you take. Day and evening options cover the same material, but evening classes take longer because they meet for shorter sessions.In daytime classes, the Fundamentals course usually takes about 2 weeks to complete and covers the basics of major welding processes. Each additional class typically takes three to four weeks. Many students who want to build job-ready skills take at least three courses. Completing a series of classes typically takes about 6 to 8 months, depending on your schedule, pace, and the level of training you choose to pursue.Pricing & Class Schedule
