American Welding Academy

Congratulations to these three students who, prior to graduation, tested into and secured employment with Local 562 Plumbers and Pipefitters.

We would like to welcome Adam Holts 12 week fabrication class. Let's see where the next 480 hours take each of you.

A big welcome to the newest Pipe Welding Class at American Welding Academy! Under the instruction of Mitch Chambless, these students are beginning an intensive 24-week program. Stay tuned as they take on the next 960 hours of training, hands on experience, and skill development. 👏🏼

Most beginners focus on perfecting their arc. But in real shops, knowing how to read welding blueprints is what separates a good welder from a great one. Symbols, dimensions, reference lines, and shop math are the language of the trade. The faster you learn to read it, the faster you move forward.
