This course teaches joint configuration, joint preparation, reading of welding symbols, blueprint reading, base metal preheating, weld repair, electrode care and management, and how to read a welding procedure (WPS). Students are 6G certified by an AWS CWI at the end of the course providing they pass the required welding tests. Students learn SMAW welding and GTAW welding on carbon steel, stainless steel, and other exotic materials from 2” to 20” pipe in all positions. We teach confined space welding, welding from heights, and dual operator style welding.

WWA transformed me from a from a fabricator in to a real pipe welder. On the first day I was given all I needed to start producing results. WWA is ready to produce the next generation of pipe welders so we can rebuild America.

Western Welding Academy is just what I have been looking for. I love everything about the school and what it has to offer. The challenge, the environment, the relationships, the future. The shop has top of the line welding machines and equipment.
