BLINN WORKSHOP WILL CERTIFY WELDING INSTRUCTORS IN NCCER STANDARDS

  

Blinn College will certify dual credit instructors in national welding credentialing requirements during a three-day conference at the A.W. Hodde, Jr. Technical Education Center.

The first-ever Summer Welding Conference will be held June 22-24, and will empower dual credit instructors to certify high school students according to National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) standards. NCCER is the national standard for welding certification, and its registry allows organizations and companies to track the qualifications of their craft professionals and check the qualifications of potential new hires.

The conference is $75 and take place from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. each day. Instruction will focus on the 10 NCCER modules necessary to qualify instructors to teach NCCER. Conference participants will become NCCER credentialed, obtain 24 continuing education hours and be certified to certify high school students participating in Blinn’s dual credit welding program.

Beginning in the Fall semester, only NCCER-credentialed instructors will be qualified to teach dual credit welding at Blinn, helping school districts meet House Bill 5 requirements that career and technical education students receive state and national certificates and credentials.
