    This is off-topic because it isn't related to distance learning- but would someone with welding knowledge help me put these courses in some kind of plan for my son?

    My son will be eligible to take all of these courses at the community college as a dual-enrolled high school student, but not until August, so he hasn't met with his advisor yet. He will take other classes too, and I am trying to build his possible schedule but I don't know anything about welding - so I don't know how many of these courses he can take at one time vs what needs to be stacked in some kind of learning order. Do you have to learn Cutting Process before Stick Plate? I have no idea. Can you learn Symbols at the same time or is that advanced? No clue.

    So - here is the full welding certificate -I want to plan as tight of a schedule as possible but he is starting in the fall. Is it possible that the first 3 courses could be taken together for a total of 2 semesters, or does this look like it might be 3?

    WLD110 Cutting Process,2 credits (offered fall/spring)
    WLD115 SMAW Stick Plate, 5 credits (offered fall/spring)
    WLD121GMAW Mig FCAW/Plate, 4 credits (offered fall/spring)
    WLD131GTAW TIG Plate, 4 credits (spring only)
    WLD141 Symbols and Specifications, 3 credits (spring only)
