Students will receive basic instruction in MIG(wire) Welding, welding safety, machine setup and troubleshooting.

All equipment and materials will be provided. Students must be 15 years of age or older. Students under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Due to modern advances in welding technology learning to weld is now easier than ever. MIG welding is a semi-automatic process that does not require long hours of repetitive practice. The equipment is compact and affordable and many models run on 115 volts. In just a few hours of instruction, with a little practice, a student can achieve reasonable proficiency in this welding process.
