Credential-Aligned Outcomes

Upon successful completion, participants will be able to:

  • Apply laser–material interaction principles to production parts
  • Design joints and processes appropriate for handheld laser welding
  • Validate weld quality, performance, and repeatability
  • Establish process limits and acceptance criteria
  • Integrate handheld laser welding into manufacturing workflows

Stackable Credential Pathway

HLI courses are designed as stackable credentials, allowing learners to progress from awareness to operator, technician & instructor roles while earning recognized certificates at each level.

The engineering course is designed as a standalone offering.

The Handheld Laser Institute credential pathway aligns with AWS, NCCER, and U.S. Department of Labor workforce frameworks, enabling stackable credentials from career exploration through operator, technician, engineer, and instructor roles. HLI programs support pre-apprenticeship, apprenticeship, incumbent worker training, and post-apprenticeship advancement.
