Gilkey and two other students, Troy Kahn and Chester Shaw, were ready Dec. 8 to be the first students at the welding center to undergo certification testing. Unfortunately, problems developed with the testing equipment and the procedure under which the students were to be tested. The students are rescheduled for testing sometime this week. The three will be tested over three elements: Oxy-fuel and plasma cutting equipment, blueprint-reading, and gas metal arc welding.
