Advanced Career Institute Campuses

Advanced Career Institute’s Visalia Campus has a Welding Training Class Start. Training is great for students with little to no welding experience. At ACI, students will gain a wider range of experience working with a variety of welding techniques and metals to prepare them for entry-level welder positions.

New CDL training class starts will begin at all five Advanced Career Institute Campuses; Fresno, Visalia, Merced, Las Vegas, and Bakersfield. At Advanced Career Institute, students train to become safety-conscious drivers in the trucking industry. During training, students will be able to utilize a balance of classroom instruction and hands-on and behind-the-wheel training, students will be prepared to pass both the DMV written, CDL exam, and skills test.
