Welding Courses/Schools in East TX?

[AMMO22]

So the Air Force is giving me a job as an instructor in Wichita Falls, TX. I was going to start taking courses here in Tucson, but I don't have enough time now that I'm leaving. Does anyone know if there are courses offered in or around Wichita Falls, TX? Thanks

Well... Wichita Falls aint' exactly East Texas. More like Southern Oklahoma

Anyway, try Vernon Regional Junior College. Vernon's about 30 some-odd miles from WF, and they offer a lot of welding courses. http://www.vernoncollege.edu/

In Wichita Falls terms, 30 miles is "right around the corner," but looking at their course schedule, it looks like the welding classes are held at the Skills Training Center, which is in WF proper.

I spent several months at Sheperd AFB in the 70's.Went to Boiler school there.I will tell you that it is COLD and WINDY in the winter.Not much snow but man the wind will eat you up.Got out in 79 as aSSGT.
Good Luck ,and thanks for your service.

I got to spend my first 19 years there. And, no, it's not in East Texas. You can say it's in North Central Texas.
I know Tucson is HOT!
You'll love WF, it's HOT and HUMID!
By the way, it's Wichita, Ya'll, Falls, Texas. (I know, I know, that's corny )

I spent 2 months there about 6 years ago, and recently spent 2 weeks for training. I was in Alaska for 3 years, so the cold won't fend me off too much, I actually look forward to it. I like the cold better than the HOTT like Tucson and Phoenix - went to pick up a gooseneck trailer in Phx the other day, it was around 9pm and still 106 degrees.

The main thing is they have a school with a welding cert class. My goal is to work for myself maybe building trailer/flatbeds/headache racks and/or doing some moble welding.

Hey Sarge, beware that they may insist on a beverage fee for initiation
Just kidding, good luck on your new assignment.

Thanks. LOL Thats perfectly fine as long as they don't mind "Natural Light" (I have 2 girls in day care, besides that is a good tasting beverage).

Does anyone know how to contact them?

When I last watched, their site was inactive. I was looking into welding courses/schools in East Texas, and after some research, I found a few options: Tyler Junior College, Kilgore College, and East Texas Welding Academy. I`m still looking at the schedule and want to assess the complexity of the course. I know there are services like https://edubirdie.com/essay-topic-generator/ that will provide me with professional help, but I also wish to evaluate my knowledge. So I start to review the curriculum and speak with instructors or current students to understand the difficulty level.

Hey there guys, I've written them a few days ago and nobody of the college authorities replied. Maybe does anyone have other contacts? Even if nobody knows how to reach them out, I have a second plan. I use https://edubirdie.com/write-my-assignment every time I get in trouble with any academic stuff. I ask experts to write my assignment and they help me learn and gain knowledge. I trust these professionals concerning any school or college tasks.
