Alumni Testimonials
Best decision I’ve ever made!
I am a graduate of both the EMT and welding program. I love how hands on both programs were! Having both classroom time and lab time allowed us to learn the theory behind something and put it into action later. The instructors were hands-down the best part of the programs. At both the EMT campus and the welding campus, I always had someone I could turn to and ask questions. I attended Tulsa welding school from 2013 to 2014. After a month of graduation, I was able to obtain a job at a local AC company! Thank you so much, Tulsa welding school!
Cornerstone of my career
I attended Tulsa Welding School because I needed a career and skilled trade that was going to be needed for a very long time. TWS gave me the skills I needed to land a very good job for a respectable employer to get me started. I worked for Ingalls Shipbuilding constructing new Navy boats. I have since transferred my skills to work on nuclear-powered submarines for the U.S. Navy. It all started with TWS and its highly skilled and knowledgeable welders. Thank you.
Changed My Life Forever
The skills I learned at Tulsa Welding School helped me raise my annual income from 20k a year to 60k-100k a year. It changed my life. Signing up for the school was easy. They walked me through it step by step and told me what I needed and what I needed to do. They also worked with me and my financial situation, allowing me to make monthly payments for the program. Their staff was very professional and helpful every step of the way. Tulsa's weekly class schedule of four days shop time and one day classroom was just what I needed to become a safe and professional welder. And if I wanted more hands-on practice, the instructors encouraged me to come in and practice on the weekends. The instructors were very knowledgeable and always willing to take the time to help me understand or get something right. Going to Tulsa Welding School was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Thank you, Tulsa Welding School.
