Eastern Wyoming College is an American Welding Society Weld Test Center for more than twenty years, providing weld training, testing and AWS Certification to businesses and individuals in Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska.

Qualification testing is imbedded as part of our classes. Limited thickness SMAW, FCAW and GMAW tests are given and records can be earned in our Certificate program. Our second-year programs include seven qualification tests and records in Unlimited thickness SMAW, FCAW, Pipe I, Pipe II, GTAW Pipe and Semi Auto Pipe. These are the same tests you will take for employment and advancement. Tests must be passed to earn Certification.

Our classes are college quality, students are expected to work and learn. We are serious about welding and your career. There are no easy classes or open labs. We do not use gimmicks.

Any job in welding requires a welding skills test. Part of our curriculum is weld testing so you will be comfortable when the big job is on the line. You will be given 48 destructive tests, 57 visual tests and 52 written tests when pursuing a degree with Eastern Wyoming College.

We prepare you for a job by expecting the same standards that industry demands. Attendance, cooperation, safety and being on time ready to go to work. We commonly go through 20,000 lbs. of filler metal and produce 40,000 lbs. of scrap. You will learn to weld on new and old power sources of different brands so you will be ready for the unexpected when you take a welding test.

We are proud to keep our climate-controlled facility clean, well equipped, adequately stocked and in good repair.
