You should try your local community college. Check to see what certs are offered per course. You might need to take more than one course to get more than one cert. You could also try a welding training school, but it would be expensive - possibly thousands compared to a few hundred at the CC.
Seth,
You can have certs out the wazooo and when you hire out, you will have to take a welding test. If you can weld, go to places who are looking for welders and tell them you are one. Bring your hood, gloves and safety glasses in case the person ask you if you are ready for a test. I have guys every day who come to me wiht school certs. Great, you have gone to school, I value education, but code requires I test you, not accept papers from a school. Some codes allow testing centers to qualify you, but then again, your school certs will not get you much. If you can weld, somebody will give you a test. If you pass the welding test you probably will get a job.
Showing up with "Certs" is not worth much in the pipe and pressure trades. There are even guys, for $$, will manufacture certifications them for you. And now Section IX does not allow qualification by anothe contractor to be transfered or used by another contractor.
