Before you choose a welding school in Mississippi
Employers often ask for a welding certification such as those offered by the American Welding Society. Those exams are separate from the school diploma, so ask each school how many weld-test hours you get in a booth.
- How many hours are spent in the weld booth versus the classroom?
- Which welding processes (SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, FCAW) and positions are covered?
- Does the school host certification tests on site?
