Welding University


In order to find a reputable welding university or welding school you will need to do a careful search. This Web site can be a valuable resource to gain information on welding classes and the industry as a whole.

The American Welding Society has a search function that allows you to find welder training facilities and welding schools throughout the Nation, Canada and the world. You can search for welder training and schools by country, state or zip code. They also have standards under the S.E.N.S.E. (Schools Excelling through National Skills standards Education) program that require a school to meet such criteria as performance conditions, learning objectives, evaluation criteria, and other curriculum guides. Their search function will tell you if a welding school is a S.E.N.S.E. approved school.

Welding education has taken such a different path than the days when you just joined two pieces of metal together. Today welding, as well as welding schools that offer welding degrees, have changed. The use of welding in art, and other mediums has contributed to the way welding technologies have advanced. It is more important now than ever that you learn the latest ways to seamlessly weld metal.

Some of the subjects you will be learning in a modern welding school are:

  • Arc welding
  • Gas tungsten arc welding
  • Gas metal welding
  • Soldering
  • Brazing
  • Automated welding
  • Plasma and oxy-gas welding

With the inherent dangers in the welding process it is very wise to make sure that your welding education and welding school offer safety courses that teach about safety shoes, goggles, hoods with protective lenses, and other devices designed to keep you safe from burns and eye injuries, among other injuries that could occur.
