This class is designed to advance the student's skills in the Shielded Metal Arc (Stick) process. Emphasis will be placed on the student's ability to prepare material and perform welding of fillet and groove welds in carbon steel using E7018 electrodes in all positions. Practice is geared towards Structural Welding Code vertical and overhead tests.
​
Upon successful completion of the course, student will receive an Earlbeck Certificate of Completion. A certification test will also be administered within this course. ​Passing the certification tests provides an all position limited thickness AWS D1.1 welder certification.

Upgrade to an ATF Test- only $275.00 for a $680 value!

This is an exclusive offer for Intermediate and Advanced SMAW and Intermediate GMAW Students! ​​An ATF Certification Test offers the same qualification as the standard AWS or ASME test you will be administered in class, but this certification places the welder in the AWS public database which can be accessed by anyone looking for a certified welder!

What this also means is that your certification would be valid for any potential employer. The net benefit to the welder is that they are more marketable in the workplace- a prospective employer would not be required to have you tested again for the same qualification/certification. 

For additional details, speak with your instructor. ​
