So... I was just browsing the NOVA site looking for fun classes to take (welding, auto, etc) as a hobby. I found out that their classes are located very close to where I work and they are pretty cheap. Has anyone taken these classes? Are they worth the time? Also, to what extent do you get access to the auto shop?

they have all sorts of welding classes. If you follow the curriculum, you can get a certification in welding technology.

the manassas campus welding program is awesome. Not sure if it has changed any since one of the lead instructors passed away.

Yeah I really wanted to take welding but I can really only get to the Alexandria location which offers automotive classes.

Do it. Some of the teachers are very cool and know an extreme amount about what there teaching, but like any place there are a couple crappy teachers that make you never wanna go back to classd again.

The Loudoun campus is very limited as to what you can take for "cool" classes. I haven't looked at the catalogue in over 2 years, since I've been in automotive school elsewhere. But obviously it doesn't sound like you're looking at the Loudoun campus anyways.

BTW try bowling at the Loudoun Campus. Best class I've taken in my life, EVER.
