Western welding academy is very fun during the time that I have meet them and do a lot of cool things like your tour the country. That also have a really great school that has a lot of new technology and hardware at there school for people to use so you get as much welding time as possible.

Today, I watched crew from Western Welding Academy visit with students from all over the state of Texas, while at a welding certification events in Huntsville, Texas. Your ability to relate to students, present interactive demonstrations, and maintain a high level of professionalism was impressive. As a high school teacher, I will definitely have WWA at the top of my list when a student asks me where they should go to further there education in the welding career. Thanks for coming this distance and helping to make the day FUN for the kids!
