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.
