There's gotta be a local trade school in your area to take classes. And there pretty cheap

Dam that sucks, sometimes they have spring/summer classes but mostly its for the fall.

you can "audit" a course, meaning you don't have to declare a degree or take it for credit. you take it just because you have an interest and they want your money.

thanks man

has anyone on here actually taken one of these courses around Virginia Beach,Norfolk or Suffolk?

google the instructors to see if there are any postings of reviews or comments of the instructor. the one my father took as a refresher wasn't in that area, but he's been welding for decades and just wanted some pointers from other welders, and to network with others since it's a hobby for him.

try to take one in the evening, at least the last class of the day -- that way you can stay later to work using the equipment instead of being rushed out the door so the next class can start.
