I found the course to be very good - it is a great way to get those good habits formed!!

I've read in several posts recently about guys taking welding classes. I'm kindof a somewhat experienced novice weldor and would really like to be better at it, perhaps even "good". Would like to take a welding class but have called around and found out that the high schools local to me have quit teaching welding

I have a junior college in town but can't for the life of me figure out if they teach welding. Where are you guys taking classes at ?
high school ? Jr college ?

here's the class categories from my local jr college but can't find welding in any of them ...
