Lone Star College-CyFair now offers welding courses taught exclusively in Spanish, beginning with Shielded Metal Arc Welding Part 1.

This new fast-track course is offered through the Continuing Education (CE) Department and will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, Feb. 13 through March 13. Additional Spanish-only welding courses will added to the CE Welding Certificate Program in the future.

Welding is classified as an evolving occupation and most likely to provide future employment growth and economic competitiveness within Texas.

LSC-CyFair helps prepare those interested in the fast-paced occupation of welding with the basic skills for entry-level employment as well as current welders in need of upgrading or documenting skills.

Three Welding Technology Certificates are available including Level 1 - Shielded Metal Arc Welding and Blueprint Reading for Welders; Level 2 -Gas Metal Arc Welding and Level 3 - Gas Tungsten Arc Welding. Some technical courses may transfer to a technology-based bachelor’s program. See an advisor on transferability details.
