The path to becoming a certified welder begins with the intro class where you learn the details of how to set up and operate MIG welding equipment to use it safely and effectively. Then you will jump right in and start the training designed to help you learn quickly, gain experience, and pass the American Welding Society D9.1 welder performance test. You will learn how to read blueprints and understand welding symbols so that you can work from a print to fabricate more complex weldments when you get a job.

All of our instructors are AWS-certified instructors and CWI’s  who have worked in the industry for years and will give you the best advice on how to interview for a welding job and pass an employer interview welding test. Our goal is to teach you how to weld, get certified, and give you the tools you need to get a welding job and be successful.

There is simply no other program like this where you can learn under a certified welder, have access to a fully professional fabrication shop, and use the calibrated MIG welders to practice as much as you want.

The course is offered for 4 hours each day (morning, afternoon, and evenings) during the week. Students select their preferred class session and then attend at that time Monday through Friday for 12 sessions. The program includes one month of membership at Urban Workshop and students are encouraged to use the fabrication and welding facilities as much as they need during the program to practice for the performance test. The test will be issued on the last day of class.

The D9.1 Sheet Metal Welding Certification test uses the MIG welder on 10 and 18 gauge materials in 8 welding positions. You can test in the following orientations for both groove and fillet welds: 2 F & G, 3 F & G downhill and uphill, 4 F & G.

As an AWS Accredited Test Facility (ATF), the entire training course and welder certification test is performed onsite by our team, making it easier than ever to get your AWS welding certification and become a professional welder.
