IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR APPLICANTS:
If you have little to no prior welding experience, you will be required to complete hands-on welding practice in our shop before your interview. This step is essential to help you understand the physical demands, technical skills, and commitment involved in the program. We want to ensure you are fully informed and prepared before making the decision to pursue this intensive training.

Step 2

Attend a Personal Interview

Qualified applicants will be invited to schedule an in-person interview during normal business hours at the Rochester Arc + Flame Center. Interviews typically last approximately 2 hours and are a critical part of the admissions process.

Candidates should come prepared to:

  • Take a shop math quiz
  • Submit their written essay responses (included in your interview invitation)
  • Provide a current resume
  • Complete a one-on-one interview with a Senior Welding Instructor or Director

Admission is not guaranteed and is based on a comprehensive evaluation. Final decisions will be communicated within two weeks of the interview.

Statistics don't lie

Attending a technical school to become a welder is an investment that pays off quicker than pursuing a four-year degree
