How training works

Think gym membership, not classroom

No mandatory attendance dates. Pick weekly time blocks, show up, and an instructor picks up where you left off. You can change your blocks after you enroll.

An example week, not a real booking: Tuesday and Thursday mornings. We recommend about 3 hours, twice a week. The more you train, the sooner you finish.

Common questions

Quick answers

Do I have to attend on set dates?

No. There are no mandatory attendance dates. You pick weekly time blocks that fit your schedule, and you can change them after you enroll. Think of it like a gym membership: show up on your blocks and an instructor picks up where you left off. We cap how many students train at once, so when we reach capacity we move to set start dates.

Can I get a custom schedule?

Often, yes. Call us at (702) 824-0457 or ask on your tour, so we can make sure your schedule leads to your success in the course.

How many hours a week should I plan on?

We recommend sessions of about 3 hours, at least twice a week. Each program has a set number of training hours (30, 60 or 240), so the more you train each week, the sooner you finish.

Do you offer job placement or a job guarantee?

We don’t offer job placement or a job guarantee. We teach you how to weld, and you’ll leave with real skills and certification test attempts in your tuition. We can’t teach you to be a great employee. Showing up, working hard and being someone people want to hire is up to you.

Do I need experience?

No. Most students walk in having never struck an arc. Every program starts with the fundamentals before moving to certification-level work.

Can I try welding before I sign up?

Yes. If there is time on your free tour, you are encouraged to try a bead. If not, call (702) 824-0457 to schedule a free 1-hour lesson. Or claim a tour to get started.

What if I do not pass my certification test?

Retesting is available. The student retest fee is $300 per retest.

Can I just take a certification test without the class?

Yes. We offer certification testing without a class. Please call (702) 824-0457 and ask for more information. You can also read how welding certification works.

Ready to see the shop?
