Fantastic course! I especially like that there is extra time built into the course to train on whatever process you would like. The instructors are all extremely knowledgeable, genuine, nice and are pulling from years of personal experience on the job.

Great environment to work/learn. Amazing teachers with so much experience. Wish I didn’t have to leave! CWS set me up for my future in welding and I secured a job when I left.

Can’t say enough good things about this program. From day one to my last day I felt welcomed and like the instructors really care about everything that goes on in the shop, and they make sure you are ready to test come test day. I would recommend this school to anyone and everyone because I really had an awesome time.

This school is the best!!! Not only am I going to miss learning new skills to better my future but I am going to miss this place as my second home! The three instructors and two lovely ladies in the office made this the best experience I could ask for. Highly recommended to any young man or woman looking into getting in to the trade!
