Successful completion of FS31: Basic Shielded Metal Arc Welder is a prerequisite to admission to this program. The advanced program provides instruction in shielded metal arc welding in the overhead, horizontal, and vertical positions.

In addition, welders increasingly need to be willing to receive training and perform tasks in other production jobs.
