At KWI I earned the basic skills to launch me into a career with the help of the instructors and staff who are top notch! If you work hard put in extra time and have a good attitude you will be successful here and in the future.

Amazing welding school. Decided to go here instead of my state school and it was the best decision i’ve ever made. Great instructors that are willing to watch you and help you out in any way possible. Highly recommend coming here!

YOUR ROADMAP TO SUCCESS
We pride ourselve on providing you with the blueprint and tools needed to thrive as soon as you graduate. Right now, there is a gap that exists between what welding education is teaching and what industry demands from a certified welder. We aim to change that.
That’s why we talked with welders, general foremen, superintendents, inspectors and designed an educational experience that has all the grit and grind of a job site. Not only that, but students get every certification, piece of equipment, and testing needed to show up to jobs with confidence!
Each one of our welding programs are tailored for a successful path into the welding industry. Check out your options today!

I could not have asked for better training. Where else can you walk out in 6 months with a pocket full of certifications, a padded resume, and confidence in your skill? I turned 19 at a refinery in Texas making $37 per hour and $129 per diem. In 8 months, I had worked for three industry-leading companies and grossed $100,000. I owe it all to my KWI experience.
