Why not ask the people at Hobart?

They will train you to just about any standard so I don't know why they wouldnt test you also.

Keep in mind that Hobart cert will only get you in the door to take another test for the job you are looking for.

Regardless of school or experience you can take any welding test that is given. Weldig tests are typically administered by employers.

An ASME test can mean anything from a flat fillet weld on plate and up. Same for AWS . There are no prerequisites for taking any of the tests. Your amount of skill will be that factor that controls how long you are allowed to test.

Thanks Pipewelder_1999

My experience are welding heavy duty equipments with GMAW for 2 years and fabricating steel products for 1 year. I do not have any stick or TIG welding skills. I feel I need improve stick and TIG welding skills before I take a test. That is why I would like to go school. Any advise is welcome.

I think you are taking the next step of being a great welder by going to school. You can ask any welder and they will probably say the same. The Hobart school i have heard is one of the best in the America but is rough. Intend to weld alot.

Hiko,
This is purely my opinion based on first hand experience. I went to Hobart Inst. for welding as well as CWI course. They are a proud organization with an excellent track record for success. When it comes to the advancement of my carreer and my education, I cut no corners. Hobart might be pricey but you truly do get what you pay for.
