Welding Schools

January 18, 2008

Welding Schools prepare students for a career in welding and metal work. Students will learn through classroom study of metallurgy, safety, and welding. Hands on training programs will hone the skills the students will need to begin a career in welding. Normally welding schools will train the students on a wide variety of different welding methodologies, such as metal arc, pipe welding, oxygen-acetylene, mig, tig, and gas welding. Skilled welding, soldering, and brazing workers generally plan work from drawings or specifications or use their knowledge of fluxes and base metals to analyze the parts to be joined. These workers then select and set up welding equipment, execute the planned welds, and examine welds to ensure that they meet standards or specifications. Highly skilled welders often are trained to work with a wide variety of materials in addition to steel, such as titanium, aluminum, or plastics. Some welders have more limited duties, however. They perform routine jobs that already have been planned and laid out and do not require extensive knowledge of welding techniques. To get started find schools in you area and follow the links to the school.
