    Shipfitting, where the heart is.

    I absolutely loved my time at TWS. I got to get dirty and learned a new trade, Heck I even made a working guitar with my own two hands! Mike, Tom, and Jimmy were some outstanding instructors, I came into TWS not even knowing what a torch was, and came out with a self made WORKING guitar!

    However, my thirst has not been quenched, I’ve completed the Shipfitting program and I’m coming back for more, Professional Welding, you’re next!

    Great experience

    The program was fast pace and needed much effort put forward, though there was so much work time as opposed to class time that I got to work with my hands, since I really do enjoy working with my hands. It’s taught me so much and I can’t wait to use it for a job.

    Hard Work And Dedication!

    Hi My name is Clayton Hardesty. I’m a graduate of Tulsa Welding School. I graduated in March of 2011 at the Tulsa Oklahoma Campus. As soon as I graduated, I was able to come right in to the Pipefitters Union Local 562 St. Louis Mo. I’ve been working in coal burning power plants and nuclear power plants making hot welds on big steam Pipes. I’ve also been on a few chiller and boiler change out jobs and I’ve gotten to travel a bunch since I started with them! This year will be my last year of a five year apprenticeship that I’ve been serving with them. I have to say that I love what I do for a living. If it wasn’t for TWS and the instructors that I learned from while I was there i would have never passed the weld tests to get into the Union and on to jobs where I have to pass a gate tests to be able to weld on the construction jobs that I go on. While I was at TWS, I was in the afternoon class. I would come in extra early each day and stay late so that I would get a grasp on what I was learning at the time. There where some days that were harder than others for me with the welding and there were some days that it just came natural. Those long hard days that I spent in the booth paid off in the end I’m very happy where I’m at today. TWS taught me that Hard work and dedication does pay off! I still have a long ways to go and I’m still learning everyday. I had a instructor tell me at TWS that the day you quit learning is the day that you quit doing anything and I have to say that stands to be true. Thank you for all that you have taught me TWS and thank you to all the instructor that taught me along the way!!!

    Tulsa welding school graduate and successful welder

    I attended tulsa welding school from November 2012 – June 2013, I graduated with very good grades and even better knowledge. I started welding from the very bottom, knew know one in the industry and had no
    Idea how to weld. I learned very quick that learning to weld was all about the time and effort you
    Put into it. I graduated towards the top of my class and left with a great understanding of the trade. After school I decided todo fabrication instead of pipe welding, I fabbed portable bars and tables for about a year then decided to do pipe welding. I got on as a welder with a company that does turnaround services in refineries and power plants. On the road we can make anywhere from $35-$42 and hour. With that money Iv been able to pay off bills and I am buying a 2015 Chevy within the next week. I think the best tool tulsa welding school had was their instructors, they answered all my questions and directed me in the direction of the company I am currently working for.

    Good Program If Your Willing To Work Hard

    I started school in July of 2016. I new nothing about welding but worked hard to learn all that I could. I ended up graduating Top of the Class with a 4.0 GPA and 6 top ones because of how hard I worked. You can learn if you apply yourself to everything everyday. The instructors are Excellent and know what they’re doing! The office people on the other hand are worthless. They did nothing to find me work after graduation. Even after I repeatedly went in and asked. If they fired the entire student services staff who are supposedly there to help you land a job, they could lower your tuition greatly. I did end up landing a job pipelining, but only by me being persistent and calling around. Don’t expect any help from the school for jobs. If you want something, you gatta do it yourself.

    Expanded my welding horizons!

    TWS gave me all the knowledge and experience I needed to compete in the welding market place. I expanded my knowledge of welding x100 and feel confident about employment as a welding specialist. The instructors are brilliant and pushed my talents far beyond what I thought possible. The staff was professional and eager to help with tuition, financial aid and job placement.

    My tech school experience

    I was able to go from knowing nothing about welding to picking it up by the first three phases due to the well experienced instructors and hands on approach. The constant shop time and available instructors to answer questions was a big help. I had a job there in Tulsa welding for twice the pay I was gettin at McDonald’s before phase 8 even came around. If they can make a welder out of a city boy like me then they have it going on over there.

    Excellent Program

    I had some doubts when I first arrived at Tulsa Welding School. I had zero experience in any type of industrial work but that did not matter. I soon realized that it was okay that I had no experience and we were there to learn. The instructors were very helpful showing multiple demos and really getting to the root of a problem and explaining how to correct it. I know I have a lot more to learn to become the welder I want to be; but I will be forever grateful to Tulsa Welding School, the instructors, and my classmates who laid the foundation for an excellent career!

    Welding my future together.

    This program help me get my life together. It got me a job welding 40 hours a week, 401k and full insurance. This program showed me not only how to weld perfectly, but how to make positive life choices. It was worth every cent.

    Great program

    I enjoyed the TWS Professional Welder Program as it was fast, informative, and well structured.
    The instructors were (for the most part) very friendly and extremely informative. They all had significant experience in the field and had real life examples on how to handle different scenarios. The instructors were all willing to give you demonstration after demonstration on different welds, and would watch you weld and tell you exactly what needs improvement. I recommend TWS to anybody with lots, little, or no welding background. If you are willing to put in the time and effort, don’t settle for a ‘C’ or ‘D’, and have a drive to become successful, you will not be disappointed.

    Pretty swell experience

    This program teaches you how to weld and weld good! You have plenty of time to come back and practice more. 3/4 of the teachers really care about you commit to one on one time. I really enjoyed this experience and definitely recommend it! The only thing I wish they offered was certifications.

    Helped get me into the field I wanted right

    While attending I got to meet a lot of new people and get taught by some great teachers like sir Patrick, tulsa needs more teachers like him. I loved the being able to weld from the time I got there to the time I left the one thing that was frustrating was when the window would run out of material especially when I had a test I needed to get done, I also think that we should have gotten red tip 1/8th tungsten in our starter kits. I also think 20k was a large amount for the school but it’s not too unreasonable other then that great environment

    I heard several negative things about about tws before I attended, and yet still in the workforce and the field that I work in I hear negativity about the school. Personally, everyone has there own opinion to anything but I enjoyed everything that I learned while I was there and had a blast while I was learning. The instructors are extremely helpful and know what they’re teaching. The school with give you as much as you put in.
