What is SENSE?
SENSE –
Schools
Excelling through
National Skill
Standards
Education - was originally published in
1995-1996 to establish standards and guidelines for
welder training in three levels:
| Level I |
- Entry Welder |
| Level II |
- Advanced Welder |
| Level III |
- Expert Welder |
HOW SENSE GOT STARTED
Upon successful completion of each level of the standards and guidelines, students may test to receive a certificate of completion. Level I is designed for application at grades 10-12 or entry level training. Level II is designed for two year career and technical education programs or for those with welding experience. Level III is for those in four-year programs or those with advanced experience.
