    I learned yo weld many years ago at Victor,who is a welding supply warehouse. They had classes on the weekends which fit my schedule well. Had classes in arc, mig, and tig welding (never could catch on to tig welding), but still got a raise as welders got paid more.

    Union apprenticeship course, iron workers and boilermakers, or IBEW ( electrical workers) or the steel workers. All of these trades have welding as part of their trade.

    I first learned on the farm equipment. It was always breaking and I cannot say my welding helped a lot.
    Community Colleges, vocational schools, Adult classes are a few ideas to find training.
    Good Luck

    Best way after adult education courses, is to get some work helping an engineer or fabricator. There are a lot of types of welding, and a lot of jobs and industries that use various types of welding knowledge and skills.
    It is useful to get all the safety gear, a quality welder and a few books from your local library and practice. It takes time to get the skills together you know.
    There are many schemes for older traineeships and so on to help grow trade skills.
    In Australia if you are involved in the construction industry we get $3000 a year towards industry level training. Boom lift, scaffold, height, confined spaces, OHS, business skills – all trade related tickets basically. This is funded by a levy on all building works across the country – very useful and helps to reduce dramatically reduce injuries and deaths.
