Alumni Testimonials
Bang for your buck!
It is a fast paced program that covers just about all the basics. It takes about 7 and a half months to complete and now that I am graduated the hardest part of getting a job is deciding which one I personally would enjoy most. I would recommend TWS to anyone who is looking to start a career in the welding field.
Best decision of my life
It was a great experience and thought me a lot of thing and welding tips. They have also went beyond to help me find work.. I received a job offer two weeks after I graduated. Glad I chose TWS!
From 0 to 100
I started out using a grinder for the first time in my life a week before school started. I was extremely worried about my skills and that I would know less than everyone else. The teachers are incredible and only want the best for you and for you to succeed. I ended up graduating second in my class thanks to my peers and awesome instructors. I highly recommend TWS.
