What Does a Welder Do?
If you enjoy working with your hands to create products designed to help others, you may want to consider a career in welding. But what do welders do? Welders are an essential part of many industries, and the process of becoming a combination welder is fairly simple. To become a welder, you will need at least a high school diploma (or GED certificate) and specific training in welding. Most businesses and industries require welders to attend a vocational school and/or complete an apprenticeship before beginning their welding career.

I had a great and smooth enrollment here at AAI thanks to Rod Fowble. The knowledge he shared about the school and relationship with students was all the encouragement I needed. Thanks Rod!
Miranda Dudgeon
This school changed my life. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the help of instructors and staff and the invaluable knowledge I gained while I was here. Thank you AAI 5 stars to you!!! I am feeling very nostalgic since I’ll be graduating soon I’m really excited to finally be a certified automotive tech but I’m also sad to say goodbye. I’ve made so many connections within the industry and friends I’ll keep with me for a lifetime.
