If a high school or voc-tech near you teaches welding, ask about
evening classes.

I was thinking of doing same. I have some welding experience, but very
little. Has anyone tried those schools?


I took one machining and 3 welding night classes at local high
schools. They let me concentrate on MIG one term, aluminum TIG the
second and 7018 the third. Professional weldors taught the courses
with help from the regular staff.
As the school had only one working TIG machine I brought mine in each
night, using the pickup truck crane to unload and load it. Much of the
equipment had suffered from student handling and low budgets. YMMV,
but I'd bring at least a helmet and gloves.
