Congratulations to the nine area adults who completed Tri Star's 30 hour welding course this week. Each received a certificate of completion for their hard work. The self-paced course is both hands and lecture and covers safety, welding nomenclature, blueprint reading, stick welding or SMAW welding (mild steel), MIG or GMAW welding (mild steel) - flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead positions. Joe Braun, who owns his own successful welding business, is the instructor (kneeling far left).
Adult education coordinator Marcia Helentjaris said that the next session of adult classes will start in the fall. Due to the popularity of the adult welding, CNC machining, and robotics classes she encourages students to check the Tri Star website and Facebook page often and call early to register.
