Welding Technology: Skilled welders are in greater demand than ever! Nearly everything we use in our daily life is welded or made by equipment that is welded. EFSC's Welding Technology program has developed a curriculum in which students are versed in Code Level Welding recognized by the American Welding Society (AWS), American Petroleum Institute (API) and the American Society Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Students entering our program are prepared for weld certification testing recognized by AWS. We also prepare graduates for Code Level Welding positions in Aerospace, Marine, Petrochemical, Power Piping and Manufacturing.

Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration: This program covers the basics of standard industry practice, and includes courses that introduce students to electronics, electricity, blueprint reading, load calculations, theory of temperature control, heat pump technologies, installation, maintenance, and repair as well as other concepts used in the field. The Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Heating Technology (also known as HVAC) program is taught at the Palm Bay and Cocoa campuses.
