how's it going dude? did you start? I am thinking about enrolling myself here in a few weeks for the spring semester but I have heard mixed reviews about Tulsa

@@TalmboutJonAfrica I start class at Tulsa in ten days...I'll try to remember to let you all know how the process works and how the school is. I've never welded but thought it'd be a good place to use up some of my GI Bill.

Brent Myslive best of luck to you!! You’ll get out of it what you put into it!

garrett bell 478 yes they do help you find a place. They recommend apartments

I went to class with a few guys who had never welded before they got to Tulsa. I graduated with those guys and they seemed to do just fine! They start you out with the basics on day one!

You will receive all your tools on your first day in the classroom. You'll get everything you need for welding in the shop all at once.

Nice! Good luck

Housing is separate from the school. They will give you apartment company names but it is up to you to contact companies for a place to live.

It's pretty good for all around learning the trade of welding. Metal fabrication and pipe fitting take years to master.

Yep I'm a union pipefitter apprentice since last winter.

Nice, I'm hoping do do something similar in the future.

Welder's Reviews did you start as a one year student in the apprenticeship program or did you go in as a different yr? I plan on going Union after I finish Tulsa

@@Rainwater757 I took an additional 18 week welding class at our union training center and they put me in as a second year apprentice. Every local union does it a little differently.

Welder's Reviews o ok, put out more videos bro, you the reason why I went to Tulsa

Austyn Yates that doesn't surprise me now. Thanks for your input!

Joseph Smithe give em hell! Just stick with it and you'll have it down.

Unknown prodigy803 I went to the Tulsa campus. I'm from southern Illinois.

Welder's Reviews oh ok

Nice weld sir

Hey im interested in starting school, in either of your opinons, was this enough to truly be effective in the field after 7 months.

noah brown I wouldn't trade my sugar scoop for the moon, honestly. I can see great out of my hood. It depends on what shaded lenses you need. I run either glass shaded lenses or an autodarkening cartridge and I absolutely love them both. Just keep your clear lenses new and no problems. Also those hoods are incredibly light. Especially if you cut them down. But you are completely correct! If you can't see out of your hood what good is it doing for you? It's all personal preference. Thanks!

MikeOnaBike TWS can help you find part time work if you can't find one yourself. Lots of kids I went to school with worked at places like Papa John's delivering pizzas. Some worked at warehouses, or even a kid I knew worked at a tire shop. I personally had saved some money before I went to school and I had set my loans up to where I didn't have to work while I was in school. I completely understand that most people need part time work while in school, however.

Garrett Pounds 5 hours per day Mon-Fri. Classroom one day per week. There are 3 class sessions per day: Morning, Afternoon, and evening. Mine was the afternoon session.

Do you get to pick which session you want or is it assigned?

You can pick as long as you are signed up soon enough

All we get is a certificate from the school. I'm waiting now for a few job leads that I have to come through

Welder's Reviews I go there now .. phase 2 week 2 and just was wondering about everything when im done .. so r the jobs your waiting on r they on the road or close to home for u?

I remember phase 2. That seems like a long time ago! Do you go to the Tulsa campus? If so, who's your instructor for this phase?

Those jobs are more local. One would be travelling this part of the state. The other would be at a refinery

Welder's Reviews the phase 2 guys name is dean and yes i go to Tulsa

Wade Wilson the Tulsa campus.

Which Did you attend Wade Wilson?

@@Grammie0911 haven't attened one yet. Trying to get funds and juggle a family is tough!

Wade Wilson TWS can train you from the beginning. One thing I would look at is what kind of welding you would like to do when you get out of school. Then go from there when you're looking at schools to attend.

Welder's Reviews talked to the recruiter at tulsa today. he was very informative. if I can get the financing I will be going there. did you have to get student loans through fafsa when you went? did it cover the cost?

Wade Wilson The school will make you apply for FAFSA and then they will help you out from there. Yes I got loans and all that too pay for school and to help with living expenses.

good information! keep making those videos bud!

Welder's Reviews when you graduated from TWS was it with all your certifications? I'm not sure how to state this question, was TWS apart of the AWS or apart of NCCER?

Cody Reynolds did you have to bring all of these tools and stuff everyday ?
