What We Offer…
The Welding Certification Center offers students the ability to learn to weld in order to become proficient in welding to industry standards and to ultimately become a certified welder. We are able to qualify welders according to AWS standards, as well as the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety Services welding standards. Since we are an authorized LADBS Testing Facility, we can offer our students the ability to take their performance exams, in-house.
We offer instruction and certification in structural steel, structural steel - light gauge, structural aluminum, structural stainless steel, sheet metal, and more. We offer instruction on SMAW (Stick welding), GTAW (TIG welding), FCAW (Flux Cored welding), FCAW-G (Gas Shielded or Dual-Shield) and GMAW (MIG welding). We can tailor a program to your needs!
Conveniently Located…
The Welding Certification Center is conveniently located in North Pomona, and borders the cities of La Verne and Claremont. Our facility is centrally located between downtown Los Angeles, Orange County, and the Inland Empire, making it easily accessible from most locations.

Why Choose The Welding Certification Center…
Not everyone has the time, availability, or desire to take a 16 week welding courses at a community college, one class at a time.
