The Art of Aerospace Welding — 24-Week Intensive
TRAINED
LIKE
SURGEONS.
"They will be trained with the same rigor as surgeons — restoring the prestige of aerospace welders as the finest craftspeople in America. My goal is to see this art evolve through automation, training the generations who will weld on the Moon, Mars, and beyond."
-Rick Montoya, Founder & Technical Authority
-THE SKILLS GAP THAT IS HOLDING THE INDUSTRY BACK-
AMERICA NEEDS
WELDERS WHO
CAN WELD
TITANIUM.
New space companies are building launch vehicles, propulsion systems, and orbital infrastructure that demand reactive metal fabrication at a level of precision and environmental control the industry's existing workforce cannot yet deliver. The titanium migration is not optional — but the people who can execute it are extraordinarily scarce.
The Art of Aerospace Welding apprenticeship exists to close that gap. It is the only program in America that trains candidates to the standard that human-rated, flight-critical reactive metal fabrication demands — and certifies that standard through independent NDT, not just declared by a certificate.
The gap is not about welders — it's about this kind of welder
What new space companies, defense primes, and Tier 1 propulsion fabricators cannot find are welders who understand reactive metal behavior, total immersion atmospheric control, and the NDT verification chain that flight-critical hardware demands.
The certification must be proven, not just declared
Every graduate has executed flight-critical reactive metal components inside a verified closed-atmosphere environment and passed independent third-party RT and PT inspection. The credential is earned by the standard it claims to represent.
Two programs. One for speed. One for mastery.
The Titanium & Reactive Metal Specialist Certification Program delivers certified, production-ready welders in 12 weeks. The Human-Rated Flight Hardware Specialist Program delivers fully integrated, NADCAP-ready systems operators in 24 weeks. Both programs share the same zero-compromise standard.

TO LEARN.
"Titanium is the future — the defining material of the next century of human innovation. My past apprentices are, and my future apprentices will be, masters in the art of aerospace and reactive metal GTAW. They will truly understand the feel of the material and the exceptional standard of quality it demands. Human life and human advancement depend on this."

-THE ART OF AEROSPACE WELDING- TWO PROGRAMS-
CHOOSE YOUR
PROGRAM.
Both programs share the same instructor, the same zero-compromise standard, and the same independent NDT verification. The difference is depth, duration, and what your organization is building toward. Primary Certification graduates can return for Master Certification at any time when their program requires it.
Corporate sponsors may reserve individual seats or full cohorts across either program. Multi-cohort and full-cohort pricing available — contact us for a tailored sponsorship proposal.
-FOR FULL COHORT SPONSORS-
THE HUMAN-RATED
FLIGHT HARDWARE
PRODUCTION CELL
PACKAGE.
Designed for organizations ready to scale advanced manufacturing capabilities overnight. The Production Cell Package combines the full Master Certification cohort with a fleet of TRON E-Series Argon Weldstations — delivering 12 elite, NADCAP-ready Human-Rated Flight Hardware Specialists and 12 fully calibrated, production-ready closed-atmosphere weldstations to your factory floor simultaneously.
This is not a training purchase. It is an infrastructure acquisition — a complete human-rated flight hardware production cell, built to Spacetron's zero-compromise standard, delivered as a single turnkey investment.
Full-cohort sponsors also unlock the option to provide their own proprietary blueprints for Capstone Phase 2 — meaning all 12 graduates earn their Master Certification having already welded production-relevant hardware for your specific program. From day one, they are not just certified. They are experienced.
-FOR CORPORATE PROGRAM SPONSORS-
YOUR PIPELINE
PROBLEM.
OUR PROGRAM.
YOUR TEAM.
Corporate sponsors can reserve seats in either program — securing trained, independently certified welders for their own production lines before graduation. Both programs deliver production-ready graduates with verifiable credentials and full traceability documentation.
The Human-Rated Flight Hardware Specialist Program adds a dimension no other training program offers: your sponsored apprentices graduate having welded your actual hardware, under the supervision of the engineer who qualified flight hardware for NASA, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman.
New Space & Commercial Launch
Close your reactive metal skills gap before your next program milestone
Sponsor seats in either program and your graduates arrive trained to your program's most demanding specification — having already welded reactive metal hardware to zero-contamination standards.
Defense Primes & Tier 1/2 Propulsion Fabricators
Build institutional knowledge your supply chain cannot currently provide
Graduates arrive with a verifiable NDT-backed credential and a Birth Certificate for every component fabricated during their program — documentation that maps directly to NADCAP audit requirements.
Autonomous Defense Technology Firms
Human mastery that bridges to the autonomous future
Master Certification graduates are trained on TRON E-Series systems architected for AGTAW integration — the ideal workforce for companies transitioning to AI-robotic reactive metal fabrication.
Individual Candidates
The career-defining credential in aerospace welding
The only program that trains you to human-rated standards across all six AWS weld groups — and proves it with independent NDT. In a market where demand far exceeds supply, this credential opens every door.
