ECAMP™ will be based in a new, 15,000-square-foot high school annex to our existing Business and Advanced Manufacturing Center in East Hartford. Our manufacturing programs and equipment are also portable throughout the state, thanks to our Advanced Manufacturing Mobile Training Lab. Welding Goodwin College's new certificate in Welding Technology provides the training and experience that today's employers want. Take classes full- or part-time and complete your certificate in as few as eight months! Our 24-credit program covers everything from welding safety and fabrication to common welding methods including shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, flux core arc welding and thermal cutting.
