CERTIFIED SAFETY TRAINING
LEARN SAFETY, EXPERIENCE SAFETY, PRACTICE SAFETY
At Kentucky Welding Institute (KWI), safety training isn’t a side note—it’s built into the foundation of every welding program. Our graduates don’t just enter the workforce with technical skills; they step in fully prepared, holding industry-recognised safety certifications that employers trust.
Safety is more than a requirement—it’s a responsibility. That’s why KWI focuses on practical, hands-on safety instruction. Our students don’t just read manuals. They wear the harness, strike the match, and guide the crane. The result? Graduates who know how to stay safe in high-risk job sites and contribute to a safer work environment from day one.
KWI’s safety certifications give you a competitive edge, proving your readiness before you even clock in.

"We didn’t just read about fire protection—we lit fires and put them out. That experience sticks with you."
