Unlike faster MIG methods, TIG welding gives you exceptional control, producing clean, spatter-free welds with a smooth, attractive finish that's perfect for projects where quality and appearance matter.
This hands-on course introduces you to the fundamentals: safety, equipment setup, tungsten preparation, and the coordination needed to manage the torch and filler rod.
Whether you're new to welding or looking to refine your skills, you'll gain the confidence to create strong, high-quality joints on steel and other metals.

The Pre-Registration List
To help ease the college registration for our CTECH students we've created a spreadsheet to hold students' place in class while they wait for classes to be scheduled, vouchers to be received, voucher access (I believe it's a month before class), or any other complication in the process. We can add you to the spreadsheet before you get a CTCLink ID, but you will need to have one eventually.
We'll reach out to you as we get closer to the class start date.
If you see a class you'd like to get in, you can contact us to be added to this spreadsheet.
You can also simply email me and I can add you as well.
