Welding Certificate Program
To meet the growing demand for welders, Kilgore College has developed both associate degree and certificate programs. Students can earn a Basic Certificate in just four months. Courses are offered either in the day or evening, so students can continue to work and learn this new skill. An advanced certificate includes all the instruction from the Basic Certificate, plus one more semester of additional courses. Finally, many students, particularly those to aspire to supervision and training roles, will want to continue on to earn the two-year associate of applied science degree.
