Technical training at the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology is designed to provide training for personnel involved with welding support groups. Those who need a practical working knowledge of welding - such as engineering, quality control and management personnel - will find these one and two week courses very beneficial.
The courses are comprised of approximately 80% classroom lecture/ discussion and 20% laboratory demonstration. These classes are not designed to teach the participants to weld.
Courses are available to provide either a generalized background - or to target specific areas related to welding. No audio or audio-visual recording of classes will be permitted.
Courses are regularly scheduled 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
You should report at 8:00 a.m. on the starting date.
Class begins at 8:00 a.m.
Cancellation policy: Cancellation of attendance in any class by a prospective student (company) may take place up to two (2) weeks prior to starting date of course without charge. Notification to the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology within two (2) weeks prior to starting date for cancellation of attendance in any technical course will result in a handling charge of $100.00. Failure to notify of non-attendance or a “No-show” on the assigned starting date will result in forfeiture of all payments of tuition for that class.
If the minimum number of students are not registered for a given course two (2) weeks prior to starting date, you will be notified of course cancellation. At that time you may either request your tuition be returned or choose to apply it to the next available starting date for the same course.
If your application arrives after a class has been filled, you can select another date or receive a full refund. The tuition includes welding manuals, workbooks, literature and technical data.
