For a school they do not teach you students much. my first year of welding school . We were taught gas welding , brazing , smaw, flux core , gmaw, oxy/fuel cutting ,beveling, washing .plasma cutting . Arc gouging, fitting and basic fabrication. And we welded all the types of different joints . Lap , corner, T, etc.
i depends on what college you go to...im fortunate enough that my college "orange coast community college" the welding department classes here, its all hands on. No bs papers. You come into class, professor tells you to put on your gear and we head straight to the welding booth.
Here after we learn these processes, we learn cnc plasma, do a class in lay outs, then oxy, MIG, Robotics set up and cnc. Its a 2 year certification MATC - Milwaukee Area Technical College
Dude I live 10 minutes from that school lol. I went up there and talked to them but tuition is hella expensive so I'm enrolling at Northshire tech's welding program instead
School is easy you have time to get everything perfect. Different on job site, you gotta move and if the fabricator cuts and prices don’t fit you got a fix it, got a gap a big gap you may have to put in jail bars with your Welder then run a pass over it.
How long was your school for? I’m looking at one that’s we weeks and teaches tig and mig welding, also what type of certifications did you get? Or did you just get a cert of completion?
@@RyanLeBlanc1 would a 6-8 month class be an absolute waste of money or are there places that would hire a beginner welder that only graduated from a school that didnt even last a year?
@@Kento_nanami_the_2nd To be honest, it depends on what your goal is. If it’s to learn a process and then get to work immediately, then 6-8 months is a while. I went to welding classes for a Month and after 2 weeks of stick welding got my first job at 18 the hour like 5 years back. If you want to explore all processes then yeah do the whole program and see what you like.
@@vtharpe44 yes look me up. Barry Landry I am building a new shop this year January I'll be teach some personell classes. TIG, MIG, Stick. I am located in new iberia.
I'm interested in welding but to be honest im softer than baby shit (sensitive musician type) and im worried I would get bullied by all the gruff tradesman lmao.
I work in a plant and they say “You’d better leave your feelings at the gate” meaning when you come in the plant you can’t take what is said to you to heart. People might cuss you so bad to where a fly won’t land on you but you have to let that bounce right off of you lol but that all depends on where you work. School is fine. And good welding says a lot about you. No one can say anything bad about a good welder
Of course you can i think we have almost same personality we just have to leave our feelings out of welding and not get too serious about little things. Heck we can even be as more powerful than alphas and groups if u know the ‘HOW’
you have to have alligator skin to make it in the trades. It can be developed if you spend enough time around these guys. I was a CNA who ended up in the trades so you just learn to give what you get and not get butthurt.
We normally run 3 passes instead of just one. Because to get into a pipe fitters Union you have to weld 2 inch pipe with 3 passes
Thank you, gives a good look at what welding is like.

Runs in our genes! Great talent!
thank you for taking the time
Thanks for the vid, I was thinking a trade school in welding and was curious.
Are you in southern cali! I know a school that you weld for free and get certified in 6 months
@@sandiego1936hey did u ever give it a try ?
Yo how much money do you make ? I’m thinking taking a 2 year welding program.
Depends what type of welder you wonna be. If you do stick which is the most famous you can hit $80,000 as a good welder
Is this ABC in Baton Rouge?
Sure is
Anyone go to Tulsa welding school or UTI? How was it amd did they help you get into a job?

How long does this class take 1 year or 2
It's go at your own pace. If you have experience you could be in and out of there. It took me 2 years.
Ya, but can you lay pipe?
