Advanced Welding Institute
Founded 2003
Albany Weld Trade School
Albany Weld Trade School was founded in the last century by a Pilebuck, Millwright, diver, welding foreman who was unhappy with the quality of welders he was being supplied. Our state licensed curriculum (Oregon #1712) trains the students in AWS D1.1 Structural Welding on both plate and pipe. We train in SMAW and FCAW. Employers want versatile welders so our graduates are introduced to material handling, OSHA forklift and sling inspections, laser leveling and first-aid.
Employers
Are you in need of good welders?
Students
Are you searching for a way to hone your skills?
Welders
Is it time to expand your talents and knowledge?
Below are welding schools across the country that have taken this advertising opportunity to promote their resources both to industry in need of welders and to those searching for a solid career path to employment. Contact them and take advantage of the services they can provide. We appreciate any ideas you might have for making this welding school guide more useful to you.
