Students in this class will complete the NCCER Core Essentials book. Students will be issued an NCCER card number. Upon completion of the core book, students' information will be submitted to NCCER to have their completed modules from the core book added to their NCCER card. Students will also complete Shielded Metal Arc Welding SMAW (stick) welding in all positions. Students will complete T-Welds in all positions 1F flat, 2F horizontal, 3F vertical and 4F overhead, and Groove Welds in all positions, 1G flat, 2G horizontal, 3G vertical and 4G overhead. All welds will be completed using carbon steel metal. Upon completion of these modules, students' information will be added to their NCCER card.

Level 2 will focus on Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW) wire welding. Students will learn GMAW and FCAW Tee welds in all positions 1F Flat, 2F Horizontal, 3F Vertical, 4F Overhead, and Groove welds in all positions 1G Flat, 2G Horizontal, 3G Vertical, 4G Overhead. All welds will be completed using carbon steel metal. Upon completion of these modules, students' information will be added to their NCCER card.

Level 3 will focus on Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). Students will learn GTAW T-Welds in all positions 1F flat, 2F horizontal, 3F vertical and 4F overhead, and Groove Welds in all positions 1G flat, 2G horizontal, 3G vertical and 4G overhead. All welds will be completed using carbon steel metal. Upon completion of these modules, students' information will be added to their NCCER card.

Level 4 is an advanced level Gas Tungsten Arc Welding course designed for the student who has completed the GTAW course or who has experience welding using the GTAW process. The instructor will allow students into this class based upon their welding proficiency and desire to learn this process.

This course introduces students to the Network concepts, including networking terminology and protocols, local and wide area networks, and network standards. Emphasis is placed on securing information systems and the various implementation policies. Upon completion, students should be able to perform basic tasks related to networking mathematics, terminology, media and protocols.

This course introduces students to penetration testing, network vulnerabilities, and hacking. Topics include an overview of traditional network security, system hardening, and known weaknesses. Upon completion, students should be able to evaluate weaknesses of traditional and wireless networks for the purpose of incident response, reconstruction, and forensic investigation.

This course advances students' knowledge of penetration testing, network vulnerabilities, and hacking. Topics include analyzing advanced techniques for circumventing network security hardware and software. Upon completion, students should be able to assemble test kits for multiple operating systems, scan and footprint networks, and perform advanced forensic investigation.
