weldeR QualifiCation

This is for experienced welders who want to be qualified under one or more of the AWS, API, or ASME codes. This is

not a structured class, but an opportu-nity to practice in our welding lab and work one-on-one with an AWS certified instructor prior to the qualification test. (The test will determine your ability to deposit sound welds in accordance with the standardized requirements). Practice and test duration are based on the skill level of the participant. The fee for up to 3 hours of guided practice and one qualification attempt is $245. Additional practice time, multiple tests, retests, and on-site training using your equipment are also available. For more information or to schedule a time for practice and testing, contact Scott Abbott at (800) 352-4907, ext. 104.

WeldingThis 30-hour course covers the theory, fundamentals, equipment, and techniques of welding. You will learn about all major welding and cutting processes used in production and repair, in addition to infor-mation on reading welding symbols, in-specting and testing welds, and getting a job in the welding industry. There will be plenty of lab time to practice one or more of the welding processes most widely used in industry today, including: oxyfuel gas welding and cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, flux cored arc welding, and gas tungsten arc welding, or you may choose to special-ize in preparation for welder qualification. Please bring safety glasses and welding gloves. 10 Tues-days and Thursdays beginning November 10 and ending December 17, 2009 (no class November 26 or December 3).

Pediatric Emergency Assessment recognition (PEArS)

The functional survival of critically ill and injured children is influenced by the provision of timely and appropriate pediatric emergency care in both the prehospital and hospital envi-ronments. NCC is offering the new American Heart Association course, PEARS - Pediatric Emergency Assessment, Recognition & Stabilization. In this course, participants will learn a series of skills to be performed sequentially to assess, categorize, decide, and act when faced with a sick or injured child. The PEARS course is for any healthcare provider who infrequently sees critically ill children.Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to:1. Assess a seriously ill or injured child using the general and primary assessments.2. Discuss and apply the “assess-categorize-decide-act” approach to recognition and management of the child in respiratory distress or failure, shock or cardiac arrest. 3. Describe the appropriate actions to take for stabilizing a critically ill or injured child during the initial minutes of response until the next level of care arrives. 4. Recognize and take appropriate actions for a child in cardiac arrest.5. Utilize elements of effective communication as a team member. A minimum of 12 students will be needed to hold the class.
