This course is for the beginning/intermediate/advanced welder who would like some basic to advanced welding skills, but needs some guidance or expert advice from an instructor during the classroom lab while working on personal projects.  All personal projects require the students to purchase their own supplies as they are not included in the price of the class.

Due to COVID requirements, students must provide their own helmets (auto darkening), gloves, and welding jackets.  Basic kits can be purchased at any Harbor Freight store or AMAZON.com.  Must have Supplies before class.

These courses are designed for both the beginning welder to the experienced welder looking to upgrade his or her skills.  The courses are self-directed welding experiences.  You will learn the welding process you need without spending time on skills you will not use.  You will begin welding the first night of class once a safety test has been passed. Your 6 week course is almost entirely hands-on.

Students will learn and apply basic and advanced welding techniques as they decide the importance of projects and needs for welding.  As your instructor I can provide ideas, or you can bring your own original concepts and get help turning your vision into art or great work skills for job placement or advancement.

ACQUIRED SKILLS INCLUDE:

  • Reinforcing Iron and Rebar
  • Weld materials together, like a blow-torch or automated machinery
  • Calculating the exact specifications and dimensions of what and how materials need to be welded together
  • Career Readiness
