School Notes
Tulsa Welding School was founded in 1949 by two welders who
recognized a strong demand for skilled tradesman in their industry.
Over 60 years later, TWS has evolved into an educational
institution that prepares students for various skilled trade
careers with a multitude of specialties and applications. We train
our graduates for the skills, knowledge, and theworkplace
attitudes that are essential when entering the professional world.
Graduates who put forth the dedication, commitment to excel, and
workplace experience in their welding, pipefitting, shipfitting,
HVAC/R or electrical welding education, have the potential to
obtain a lasting and rewarding welding career. TWS in Tulsa started
its Associate degree program in welding technology effective
February 1998. The Master Welder program prepares a graduate for
entry level positions in structural, pipe, thin alloy, and pipeline
welding. Key welding processes include SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, FCAW, and
high frequency GTAW. The program contains ten training phases of
three weeks each. Structural Welder contains five of the Master
Welder phases. This program prepares a graduate to weld on
structures (plate surfaces) using the welding processes of SMAW,
GMAW and FCAW. Associate of Occupational Studies in Welding
Technology degree consists of the Master Welder program for the
first-seven months. The new TWS branch campus in Jacksonville,
Florida opened November 2001 to provide welder training. Programs
in welding match those in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The college is
accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and
Colleges of Technology. For more information about the school
