The most memorable thing from Western Welding Academy was learning how to weld from the great instructors.
Spencer Gauthier, a stainless TIG welding virtuoso, found his passion at Western World Academy. Graduating in 2021, he forged lasting friendships and honed his craft under exceptional instructors. Now, he radiates enthusiasm for welding every day and wholeheartedly recommends the academy to aspiring welders, opening doors to limitless opportunities in the industry. Spencer's story exemplifies the power of pursuing a passion for a fulfilling career.
Our exceptional instructors and top-notch facilities ignited many people's passion for welding. Building friendships with fellow students has been invaluable, and make our graduates confident and well-prepared for a successful career in the industry. It's more than a school; it's a transformative community where dreams are forged and futures are brilliantly illuminated.
From high school, I went and was a labor building bridges and then I was a pile buck for about a year then I was welding but didn’t love structural so I saw WWA and said I’m going. october 24th I made the drive from Grand Forks to Gillette Wyoming in search of being able to be called a hand. I started out behind, wasn't really being serious, and then a man named Colton Pfeil became my lead on third, and at the end of it, I was a month ahead. the people I met at WWA will be my friends for life and now 6 months later I talk to about ten of them daily. I would go back and do it again and again if I could but now I’m chasing shutdowns up north. landed myself in a sugar beet plant and have been here for about five months now. a ton of stainless welding and carbon too, it’s about done so I’m excited to see where I go next.

Had a really hard time in school with a lot of things that just wasn't my thing. So I applied to WWA during my junior year in high school and got accepted. Finished out high school and then started to get ready to head out to Wyoming for WWA. When I got to Wyoming it was absolutely freezing. But I was welcomed into the school and settled in really quickly. Made some lifelong friends along the way. I ended up moving through the program rather quickly and got a couple of extra certifications and graduated a little bit early. But I had an amazing time and learned so much from the instructors and still talk to them every once in a while. Thank you for your time.

Got to meet these guys, really good guys, excellent welders. Hoping to learn from the best soon!
Great time with great people!
Love the hood time, and ability to work at your own pace.
During the Career fair they put up with me and my chapters antics and were really fun to hang out with, the conversations were fun and helped me find a place to go if I get more interested in welding. Personally I'm not someone who likes welding as much but if I decide to do it ill go here.
All of the guys were great. Super nice and fun to be around. Amazing experience
