I attended the Intro to welding course over this weekend and really enjoyed it. All of the instructors were encouraging and friendly. I would definitely recommend!
I did the Tig course here, it was great, George and Mariana are great instructors and they know what they’re talking about. They were even able to help get me a job right out of school where i’m working 50+ hr weeks. Only thing I would say is make sure you have money for tools and material. Other than that I highly recommend.
Had previously taken the CWI part B a few times and wasn't quite getting over the hump so I decided to give Advaced Weldtec a try for my training hrs and it was great. Lots of questions were answered and things clarified. I liked the seminar so much I decided to get a private train session to shore up things I was still on the fence on as I didn't want to repeat the process and exam AGAIN. George is old school and extremely knowledgeable, Mariana is a killer highly skilled, both are tough but friendly. you can tell they're both very smart really know their stuff and take this very seriously. If you're on your journey to CWI I'd highly recommend the seminar in whole or part and privates if needed. Education well worth the investment. Oh yeah I passed my part B and now a CWI.
Amazing school. Good equipment and extremely knowledgeable teachers. This place teaches you a lot more then just welding but on the job tips and advice as well
I was here for a short while but I enjoyed it ! I took the motorsport bundle (mig tig stick) and I eventually enjoyed tig more than any other process. I now have a career out of welding for a motorcycle exhaust company and I couldn’t have done it without starting at this school. George and Mariana gave me great opportunities during and after school and i’m highly greatful! 😁
This school changed my life to say the least and George and Mariana are excellent! I took their aerospace course back in 2019! Those 6 months were some of the hardest, yet most rewarding months of my life. They push you to do your best and always make sure you know there is room for improvement! They help you find work if needed and opportunities to gain more certifications are always a priority. The way George and Mariana have taught me is something I will forever be grateful for and the way they continue to help me when needed is so amazing!
Attending California Welding Institute was such a different experience and brought me out of my comfort zone, but it was definitely worth it. The instructors, George and Mariana, have taught me everything that I know, and I am now a certified welder. I can tell you one thing, this school is NOT for the weak! They mean business when you walk in those gates and everything is very straight foward. They have so much knowledge and experience, I would not have gained what I know anywhere else. I appreciate everything they've done for me and continue to do for me even a year later. I cannot thank you guys enough for giving me a complete future in the welding industry and starting me off with a professional stand point! Thank you so much!
I’m forever grateful for the skills I learned during my 6 months at California Welding Institute. The facility is always improving and I was able to get a higher paying job in welding because of the technical skills I learned here. The high-structure/real life format is unlike most welding schools and that’s why it stands out. I would recommend this school for future welders and welders looking to take their career to the next level. Worth every penny!
