The classroom lecture will be taught Jan. 21, Feb. 4, and Feb 18 in Room 112 of the Hall Building on the Ozarka College – Melbourne campus, located at

South of Melbourne.
Participants will learn introduction to welding principles, proper welding techniques and basic welding repair applications. This course is constructed
with the beginners in mind, but is challenging enough to repair broken equipment.

plasma cutters in fabrication. Students will also be able to analyze the best way to repair broken parts and fix them properly by using the right
materials and techniques.
