What is SENSE?
SENSE – Schools Excelling through National Skills 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.
