Hello all,
I had a quick question about becoming a pipe welder.
I went to tech and have certificates for everything except pipewelding.
For sometime I have been working as a structual welder and now have
a desire to maybe become a pipewelder. I was looking at Lincoln Electrics
school in Cleveland, Ohio. They offer 4 weeks of stick welding pipe and then
4 weeks of Tig on the pipe. This seems very short to me? Is this enough
time to really learn this? My tech school had a 6 month program for pipe
and that was after a year of welding first.
Is it possible to get a job with this? without having to join the pipefitters
union?
Thanks for all replies.
Erik
