Metallurgy Certificate Pathway
Overview
Metallurgy involves understanding the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of welding. This pathway progressively builds on the concepts of welding metallurgy and successful completion of all four courses provides recognition of a metallurgy certificate of completion.
Pathway Micro-Credentials
