New York State (NYS) Department of Transportation (DOT) test for welder certification.

Through this certification, welders meet the requirements of the NYS Steel Construction Manual to work on NYSDOT projects, including bridge welding. Individuals interested in taking the DOT test should be proficient welders in the vertical and overhead positions using the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process, and E7018 electrodes.

There are two types of tests. One is in the 3G vertical up position, and the other is in the 4G overhead position. They both use 1-inch-thick plate with backing using E7018 welding rod that is either 1/8” or 5/32” diameter. Welders have a time limit of four hours to complete the weld.

Welders must bring their own safety gear and welding rod.  The welding rod must be E7018 either 1/8” or 5/32”.

De-Escalation in Practice: Using Assertive Language and Presence to Promote Calm In Emotionally Charged Situations. How we show up matters just as much as what we say. This interactive workshop focuses on the practical side of de-escalation by strengthening your emotional intelligence, refining your language choices, and using non-verbal presence to promote calm. Through discussion, structured practice, and guided reflection, you’ll gain tools to respond with clarity and confidence when tension runs high

Core Safety Our Construction Tech Safety Classes prepare students for the job site with essential skills and certifications. Training includes OSHA 10, construction math, blueprint reading, tool safety, and job-ready communication. Learn how to stay safe, use tools correctly, and build a strong foundation for a career in construction.  

Foundational The Fundamentals section of our Construction Tech program gives students hands-on experience in the essential building blocks of residential and light commercial construction. From masonry and floor systems to wall, stair, and roof framing, students gain practical skills in each phase of the building process. Learn how to install ceiling joists, apply various roofing systems, and complete structures with professional exterior finishing techniques. Students also earn lift certifications, adding valuable credentials to their toolbox. This section builds a strong foundation—literally and professionally—for success in the trades.

Skilled Trades The Skilled Trades section prepares students for real-world work in key areas of construction. Learn the essentials of residential electrical systems, HVAC basics, and plumbing, including DWV systems, plastic and copper piping, and fittings. Students also gain hands-on experience in drywall and interior finishing, while earning valuable credentials like Lift Certification and First Aid/CPR/AED. Build specialized skills that help you stand out in the trades. 

Funding may be available through Chautauqua Works, Chautauqua Region Community Foundation and Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union.

Students will learn to use G&M Code to program basic machine movements, apply macro variables to construct programs, set up turning and machining centers, and practice in-process inspection techniques, including Haas machine probing cycles. 

To be successful in this course, students must already be familiar with CNC machine tool operations and have at least an intermediate level knowledge of long-hand g-code programming.

An overview of electrical fundamentals, safety, tools, circuits, and maintenance, as well as hands-on experience in troubleshooting and automation. Participants will explore adanced concepts like relay logic, variable frequency drives, and practical calculations, culminating in a project that emphasizes real-world problem-solving in an industrial context.
