Features
HCC’s accelerated welding program is offered in two six-week sessions and one three-week session to offer students more start date options and give them the flexibility to complete training on the welding processes that interest them the most. The program features a hybrid learning model with American Welding Society competencies taught online and reinforced with hands-on training in HCC’s newly-renovated welding lab.
CREDENTIALS
Hopkinsville Community College is accredited by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. Students who successfully
complete accelerated welding sessions earn academic certificates and
American Welding Society certifications.
