As someone who has never welded before, I think this is the perfect class for taking the first step into a welding career. The spaced out classes are also great for individuals juggling jobs and families.

​Overall, I had a great experience and retained more welding knowledge than I had anticipated.
I honestly can't think of any ways to improve this class.
​
The instructors were very thorough and patient with us while still keeping the classes going at a good pace.

​I'm pleased with what I learned in this class and look forward to taking more classes here.
All courses I have currently taken at Earlbeck have readily prepared me for starting my career in welding.

​I entered with no experience, and now have a job lined up ready to start next week!
​
​I’m very appreciative for Earlbeck and all the knowledge they have given! 
 Outstanding in every way. Instruction and instructor were clear. Appropriate-level answers to questions, peppered with lots of real-world knowledge. ​One of the best intro to “anything” course I’ve participated in!
Very effective and encouraging opportunity with great staff.
​They gave good feedback on real world situations, job expectations, and how you should present yourself for an interview. 
Great instructors who are passionate about welding. They did a wonderful job reinforcing things I wasn’t clear on. 
​This was a successful introduction into a career change.
