I had went to tulsa during covid for HVAC and the whole experience was horrid. The classes were on the phone the teacher were completely unreliable when it came to teaching. Of course there were some great teachers but most of them were completely unprofessional teaching basically nothing on the HVAC side. It felt like I had been completely scammed and now forced to pay a loan for something I barely learned and that gave no opportunity after the whole thing as the jobs were either move somewhere completely away or work for a low wage company. Shoot most of the time the teachers were allowing students to cheat even during the final. SO I REPEAT DO NOT GO FOR HVAC AT ALL WHATSOEVER IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY.

I had a pretty good experience. I had wished I got more hands on experience, but the knowledge I have learned has been helpful.

The Instructors are awesome!!! But, I would recommend to go to FSCJ for their welding program, its a fraction of the cost and when you leave your are actually certified in what you want to be, not just having a certificate of completion and a huge bill to pay if you dont get that one job 2000 miles away to pay it back. I went through Tulsa and am still paying them and no one would help certify anything with out paying a nominal fee. I went through FSCJ and took half the time and I was able to be certified before I left. Just saying look at all of your options first.

Student here taking up pipe welding staff and instructors are great people

Mr Bryan really cares. He teaches you and sets you up with good jobs. Pipe fitting program is great.

Just starting but great so far

Great tour, interesting options for education.

Love the learning experience and had a blast while I was there. The teachers are very helpful and try hard to help everyone complete the class

Great place to learn welding. The instructors really push you to be your best

Thats my school. I love it there

Have been calling for the past 2 weeks for my certification and transcript and I still don’t have it and it is very very important that I receive it

I would rate less but to be honest, this post isnt really worth making. This school needs major improvement in faculty and staff. Also needs better phone operators and better time management because it would seem like their always on break. Overall 1.7 out of 10 for me and I go to the school.

Did not teach everything they said and once you get past phase 3 they dont care about the students instructors dint help and dont care if you can weld they will just push you through even though taking it again is allowed but they dont care they just make you go on when you cant do the current phase are the phase your going into

Tulsa welding school is in a class of it’s own. I’m currently a student here, I’ve been here for about 8 weeks now, and this place is awesome!My first 3 weeks (phase 1) was a great experience! I knew absolutely nothing about welding, never touched a machine in my life, but my instructors helped me out every step of the way, between setting up my machine properly, to running my first set of stringers! Every time I got discouraged, or felt I couldn’t accomplish something, they turned my attitude right around!Big shout out to my first two instructors Jimmy and Mike! Both extremely knowledgeable, and they each offer a different point of view on welding! Decades of experience between the 2 of them, so they each had extremely helpful tips and tricks on how to get it done!I know I still have a long road of learning ahead of me, but I will always return to these 2 for any advise I need!Thanks guys, keep on keeping on!

I have worked for Tulsa Welding School Jacksonville for almost three years now and it has been the best experience I have ever had. Each and everyone of the team members here made me feel right at home the moment I stepped through the door. I have been able to meet some amazing students and experience their time here all the way to graduation. Getting up every morning coming to work is an amazing opportunity every day. I know everyone on this campus cares about each and everyone of the students and will work to help the strive to that goal to graduation. Thank you for making me a part of your family. I cant wait for the years to come.

Enrolled in this school and unfortunately had to leave before I got started. However, I do want to commend the people from admissions specifically Tina Thompson and the other staff as well, they were very friendly and helped me with the enrolling process very quickly and without a hassle. One thing I MUST mention, I am a veteran and was using my GI benefits for the program before I had to withdraw and actually got denied for this school by the VA, not really sure if the admissions people were aware the VA is not approving this school but it’s something veterans should be notified of and made aware. So I decided to share it on here. Other than that everything was great as far as the enrolling process with them.

Great experience learning new skills like welding. The introduction was easy and instructors give great demonstrations. It well worth the time.

Just start the process ask me in a couple months

Excellent programs offered. Professional and courteous staff.

I love my school!

I realized after 6yrs of completion of welding certification. I need the 3 month pipefitting course. Im back. Thankfully

This is a good school. I feel like I’m learning what I need to get started in this welding career and make good money. My instructor Shane really helped me. He always has tips on how to improve my welds and encouraged me to get better. Paul was another great instructor. He would let me borrow equipment if I needed something and would come into my booth to help me even when I had moved up into higher phases.

As a student here place teaches you everything you need to know. It’s really up to you to take it as far as you want it to go. One of the best teachers is Jimmy Naro. Very patient on slower learners. Very knowledgeable of what’s going on and how to correct your welds. Very good guy.

As a woman who is dangerously close to thirty, Tulsa Welding School was an amazing experience. I am impressed with how professional and respectful he instructors are while also holding to the male job theme. Those who apply themselves find jobs quickly and easily, utilizing instructors as mentors and gateways into a career. I am now a contracted Navy welder, thus proving not only that women can make it but also that hard work pays off and its never too late to learn something new. 100% recommend for people who want a stable career and dont have a mentor to teach them the way of the welder!

This is a good school with great instructors with lots of hands on and with the right mind set anyone can work hard and do this. I love it and would recommend this school to anyone looking to get in to the welding Field. LIFE TIME EXPERIENCE THAT IS SECOND TO NONE! The student services team are an amazing couple of people who have always been there to answer any question that i had from grades, to my attendance, or even just to listen. Thanks TWS for helping secure my future, I cant thank you enough.

Excellent school. Great instructors. Warm environment for learning. Perfect opportunity to train for a career. They also help immensely with job placement. Bryan Hatch is nice.

My experience at Tulsa had been no short of amazing. I have been able to come and meet a host of people who daily job is to help you out in any way that can. I know being a graduate feels more prepared for the work place thanks to a unbelievable staff and instructors. I appreciate it all and recommend this school to anyone looking for a successful career

Awesome school and awesome teachers always clean and organized

During this crisis they should have a web site that you can watch educational videos on,rather than showing up for 2hours once a week, limiting exposure to the virus. I drive 50miles one way to boot.

Currently attending Tulsa Welding School in Jacksonville. Definitely have a wonderful shop and top of the line equipment. The instructors here are always willing to help and spread their knowledge. You will definitely see an improvement in your skills by attending this school. The student services help you with anything you need and every step along the way. I would definitely recommend coming to this school.

Awesome opportunity. The money invested to earning potential ratio, makes this school a no brainer. A definite worth while investment. No other school has the resources to gain you employment after graduation. I recommend pipe fitting after the welders course. Mr Bryan and Mr Collin are amazing

Tulsa is one of the best school I’ve ever attended! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in the field of welding. The instructors and staff are great, especially Mr Ivan Thomas! He’s always ready to help any student in need.

I love this school. Anytime I need help there are numerous instructors willing to take the time to help me!Student services, Ivan & Vonya, are the best. They will bend over backwards for you if you need help that they can provide. You just have to ask.I recommend attending this school to anyone interested in welding!

Im a current student and alumni of Tulsa Welding School in Jacksonville. I completed the welding program last year and Im presently in the Refrigeration Technology course. I owe my success and thanks to the Student Services advisor Mr Ivan Thomas. He helped me overcome a few obstacles I had while attending. This program takes real dedication, from students and faculty working together. At Tulsa Im still Army strong. Thank you very much.

James and Bryan care a lot about their students. James taught me many sills on 6010 open route. Pop fitting is awesome.

When I first got here I didn’t know nothing about welding, but the instructors were very approachable and willing to help. They help you get better everyday. Mr. Jimmy, bill, and Chris🤘🏾 where always willing to come in my booth and literally hold my hand to help me understand it. Ivan and Vonya in student services are fantastic💯 They always are there to listen to me and assist in anything that I have going on. 😁 This is a great place to learn how to weld. 😇

The experience at TWS has been absolutely amazing. The instructor are very informative and the environment is goal oriented to help each and every student become successful. I am glad to be graduating in 6 short days. Everyday has been amazing and I can always count on my Tulsa family to be there for me every step of the way.

Pretty awesome staff. Student services (Ivan and Vonya) has been of tremendous help with everything from start to finish. Very hands on, 1 day in class, 4 days in lab. The instructors are very hands on and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend the welding program here at Tulsa in Jacksonville to anyone. Thanks guys for everything.

Tws is the best. Ive been here since mid October which makes me half way through my journey. While on this journey Ive been taught various welding techniques. The teachers put you first, there almost within arms reach literally. They make you feel as if no question is a dumb question, ask away. They offer three time periods to attend which pretty much means no matter what or when, meaning school wont interfere with your current job etc they make it easier to have less excuses and theyre there every step of the way allowing you to become the best WELDER YOU CAN BE!

The student services department at Tulsa Welding school is amazing, they go out of there way to do whatever it takes to accommodate there students. The program at the school is hands on informative and generally fun all together. I definitely recommend anyone interested in the school to join.

Tulsa is the real deal, all the instructors are attentive, helpful, and will go out of the way to get you where you need to be. You get what you put into the school. They have great job placement opportunities. Not a single regret coming here.

This school has provided me with endless opportunities and a bright future ahead. Amazing staff and if you get the chance to talk to Bryan hatch, best instructor and a cool guy to talk to

It was the great experience that I ever made

I’ve finished the welding course and am in phase 2 of pipe fitting as of righting this.Student services have been very helpful. I had several conflicts with my work and school schedule and worried about missing to many hours at school but they were able to help me work around it. If not for them I would have probably failed and been rephrased at least once or twice.I learned a lot in the welding course and am confident in looking for a job once I am finished with the pipe fitting course. Pipe fitting is an extra 3 and a half months but the job options and pay really improve with those skills.

Tulsa Welding School has helped me in so many ways, more ways than just welding. The instructors are all so good and helpful and supportive, and really make sure you understand. Everyone is willing to help! The director of training is great and always does his best to help solve problems if you have any. Ivan & Vonya with student services are awesome, and there when you need someone to talk to, about anything going on, and will also be there if you have a problem. I’m so glad I chose Tulsa, rather than staying back home in South Carolina and going to a much smaller school. Jimmy, Curtis, Shane, Bill, Zack, Sean, Matt and Mike all helped me in different ways and I’m so grateful for them & their patience when I struggled. Tulsa was well worth it. I looked forward to going to school everyday, which was a first! I’ll definitely try and keep in touch with my instructors and student services, and visit when I’m in town. If you’re thinking about going to welding school, go with Tulsa!

Tulsa is an amazing school with a wonderful campus. I had my tools stolen from me and the lead instructor Jack helped me by understanding my situation and replacing my tools. Ivan also double checked to make sure I had everything I needed. Caring instructors and staff that do an amazing job have really topped off my experience here!! Thanks Jack and Ivan.

There is no better place to work. Everything has its ups and downs. But, watching these students grow, and gain lucrative employment when they graduate, is very rewarding. I wish I had a school like this to get me started when I entered the welding and pipe fitting field. People here really care.

Best school I have been to. Love the instructors. Any time I ever had a question or needed anything g I can always count on Ivan and Vonya. very Knowledgeable and if there is ever a time that they didn’t know the answer they got back with me within a few minutes. Definitely come check the school out the staff and the instructors are awesome

I have had an amazing experience with Tulsa Welding School. It has helped me future my education for my career. This school has helped me better myself for my son. I highly recommend attending this school. The staff and instructors have been a giant help. Student services is exceptional at their job. Ivan and Vonya always have a smile on their face and are more than willing to help with any problems we have.

Great learning opportunities and experience for all walks of life. Self-paced and hands on training with plenty of well qualified instructors to help guide trainees and also graduates.

The best staff ever. Ivan was a great student service and the dean help out with all my needs. Great staff. They are here to help the student. I appreciate them.

Love the pipe fitting program. I am excited about the 100% job placement. I have a love for welding so Im hoping to become a combo fitter/welder and tws is the best place for me

Tulsa welding school an their staff has honestly helped me turn my life completely around. When I walked through their doors a year ago I was in a bad place an had no idea what I was doing with my life but thanks to their hard work and patience an my determination to do better my life is now on the right track! I have a great job/career an making more money then I ever have in my life and I’m actually love my job an the work I do!Special thanks to Mr. Ivan & Ms. Vonya you guys are the best and I’ll never forget all the things u guys helped me with from day one!!!

Well my experience has been a great one! I’ve learned that welding is a trial and error skill. Throughout this 10 phase process you learn more about yourself. All in all it’s a great school

In approximately nineteen years of being in school and/or doing training James Howard is the best instructor/professor/teacher that Ive ever had. He is not only an excellent welding instructor, but he is also an excellent mentor who is invested in the progress of his students.

Good school instructors seem real knowledgeable and will push you to be the best you can be

Attending Tulsa Welding School has been one of HARDEST and MOST filling things i have ever did in my Life!!! At times i thought i wouldnt make it but with the help of the Tulsa instructors an staff pushing an sometime pulling me, at lease thats what it felt like.. I wouldnt have made it!!! Now today I am a confident welder ready to start my NEW CAREER!! I am forever greatfull for everyone here at this school$$$$$😎

I LOVE this school! As a student at TWS, your instructors work tirelessly to make sure you have the knowledge and understanding that you need to succeed in the real world. The staff is awesome and they really care about their students. If you miss a day, they will contact you to make sure you are able to get to school. They help with job placement while you’re a student here and even after. This school truly helps their students succeed. #TWSProud

Student services are on point with everything and besides why wouldnt you want a bunch of professional welders who have been welding for years to be the ones who are teaching you and helping and even pushing you to be the best welder you can. In my experience of Tulsa welding school in Jacksonville the instructors was my biggest decision in making the career change and learning something new after I got my tour of the school and was able to talk to some of the instructors once I started I knew I made the best decision.

I just completed training after seven months at Tulsa Welding School in Jacksonville and I strongly recommend the school to anyone who wants professional instruction in the welding trade. I was impressed at every stage of my education. Every instructor I had contact with during every phase of instruction was professional, highly skilled as a welder and instructor, and demonstrated a sincere desire to teach and help every student. The student career services staff worked diligently to help every student who would also work to seek employment. The school brings notable large companies and prospective employers to the school to interview and test students. The even provided additional specialized training and assistance by the instructors to prepare you for the welding tests that the employers give; all with no additional expense. At the end of the day however, no-one can hold your hand forever. You must be diligent and responsible to your own success. This applies to working hard in the lab, asking instructors for assistance, studying the classroom materials, as well as applying yourself to the process of finding work and proving yourself to employers. TWS provided me what I needed to get work and continue to develop my skills in this new career.

Recently attending Tulsa Welding School I started with some problems but thankfully for the student service staff including Ms. Vonya and Mr. Ivan I have overcome those obstacles with a positive outlook of life. Having them as my support has given me the strength to continue pursuing my career as a professional welder. As I’m pursuing my career I have ran into some amazing instructors who pushes me to do my best and allow me to grow as a woman I am today. I would like to thank Tulsa Welding School for the amazing experience and many more to come.

I graduated from the welding school and loved every minute of it. I am now a student at the HVAC campus and really having a great time. I would like to thank all of my instructors for their help along the way and would definitely like to thank Student Services for helping me out when I had a problem arise. They went over my grades in detail and corrected the mistake that occurred which I greatly appreciated. I can’t say thank you enough for all of their hard work. I love this place!

Amazing place. Teaches you how to weld but the rest (experience) you have to learn on your own

Pipe fitting program is exceptional. Job placement is great. The instructors really care about your success.

I ran into a personal issue and was in a serious bind with nowhere to turn. Called into Student Services and explained my situation and my issue was immediately taken care of. Student services went out of their way in collaboration with the business office and made sure I was good. Very professional. Greatly appreciated.

The student service department and instructors are very helpful! I recommend the school to anyone that is looking for a trade course! Very laid back group with a lot of knowledge of the company!!

Ivan Thomas and MS. Vonya Griffin has been a huge help. Student services has help me overcome major obstacles while in school numerous times, which made it easier for me to focus and achieve goals that would be almost impossible to achieve without them.TULSA WELDING SCHOOL OF JACKSONVILLE IS AWESOME!

The best hands on learning school I have ever attended.Would recommend it to anyone trying to build a career.

My favorite instructor is by far.... Bryan Hatch I told him going through the program that I needed to focus on tig welding for my career going into the industry as a boat technician to work on hand rails, tuna towers, t-tops, propellers engine blocks and other various welded boat parts..... once I was done testing in my phase even though we werent on that weld process yet (TIG) he showed me the process and allowed me to work on it. Highly recommend this school..... and this instructor is the bomb.MA3 TRENTUS NAVY VETERAN

I am about to graduate from this school. I had a great experience I learned what I came here for. It is a great school.

The pipe fitting program is not as complicated as I expected and very easy to learn thanks to John!

So I came to Tulsa from New York after several of my home town friends made the same move. I had no idea the concept of welding, I literally though I’d be yielding a blow torch and burning things but it’s so much more satisfying then I could have ever imagined. The curriculum is intense but calculated. I like to think of it as a sling shot effect, you get challenged and taught to do things a certain way that sometimes is common and sometimes rarely used in the field but what it does for you is prepares you for the unexpected. Tulsa has staff that is beyond hands on day to day and really want to see you thrive. This comradeship falls down to the students as well, “no man left behind!”, it’s without a doubt a true network of men and woman who all have a common goal and want to see themselves as well as there colleagues succeed!! The great thing about Tulsa welding is the “click”, sometimes it can be ridiculously frustrating and have you on the urge of walking away from it all and then...the “click” happens and it all falls into the gap!!! The confidence you feel from the confirmation is unlike anything I’ve ever felt. The instructors are very knowledgeable and supportive and they truly enjoy the company they keep, the trade they’ve pursued and the students they prep, lol, if you will. It was thanks to Ivan that at my worst moment he pulled me aside and reminded me why I made my personal sacrifices and decisions and spoke to me on a level of two people discussing life rather then someone of authority. All in all I couldn’t be happier with my future!!

I’m glad with the decision of attending TWS, by far my favorite teacher is Shane Murphy. He knows what’s he’s doing and what he’s talking about. He’s very hand on and have the patience to work with you. He’s an awesome teacher.

Tulsa is a great school to learn a great trade. There instructors are some of the best in there fields., the office staff really care about the students. All in all if you want to become a great welder come talk to the admin team and get started.

Transferred here from a different welding school and like this one way better, real hands on learning with good instructors who know what it’s like to work in the field.

I have attended Tulsa welding school for about 3 months now and I would like to recognize Jimmy naro as being 1 of if not thee most helpful and willing instructor here. Someone I would consider a true friend in and out of the field!

GREAT PROGRAM FOR THOSE WHO INTERESTED IN GOING WELDING SCHOOL FOR A TRADE . ILL THANK EVERYONE WHO WORKED IN FRONT OFFICE WHO TOOK TIME TAKE CARE ME WHEN I HAVE A ISSUES WITH ANYTHING LIKE MY SCHOOL CHECK N. I APPRECIATED ALL OF THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTORS IN SCHOOL FOR HELP ME IMPROVE MY SKILL TO BECOME BETTER WELDER . remember i dropped out 2016 phase 5 now im in phase 10 soon about to be GRADUATED . so GO TULSA

Recommend for everyone looking to make something with their life. They make sure you learn to do it right. Btw shout out to Brian MFing Hatch hes a real one.

My experience with TWS was fantastic. The teachers were engaging and had the experience to match what any teacher should. The skills I learned there are invaluable and Ill have them for as long as I live. The program covers a wide variety of welds that youll do in the field, from pipe to plate.

Ivan was very helpful with helping get my work and school schedule balanced and situated. He is always making sure we are taken care of thank you!!!!

Nothing bad to say, work hard and you will do just fine

Great place to learn. Awesome instructors. The Dean has a weird beard tho

The instructors are very knowledgeable and they are always willing to help you out if you are having problems with the material being taught and in the labs. Some of the best instructors I had were Jimmy, Paul Pearson, Shane Murphy, Mike Marrilees, Zach Verts, Laurie Pieper, and John George. Anyone who has these folks for instructors will learn a tremendous amount. I highly recommend the pipe fitting class after the professional welder school. I was offered a job with General Dynamics in Norfolk VA while still in the program. Laurie Pieper and John George are the pipe fitting instructors and they have many years working in the field and they will work with you and make sure that you understand how to set up, measure and fit up various piping systems. I highly recommend this school

Pretty good school, I would definitely recommend other young welders or anyone who is looking into getting into this trade. You have to push your self the instructors aren’t going to hold your hand and walk you though this. You have to find the good instructors that truly care and want you to do your best. What you put in they put in. But what really got me tied in and helped me stay motivated and drilled in was the amazing kickass student services. Thank you Ivan Thomas and Vonya Griffin

Tulsa is an awesome school! My son is doing great. Ivan and Vonya are so very helpful, and kind in any situations. I’m so glad he chose Tulsa Welding.

This place is a great learning environment to help individuals become competitive in their job search. The amount of knowledge here is unlimited. All you as a student have to do is listen, ask questions, dont just do the bare minimum. Its like anything else in life, you get out what you put in. Burn and learn.

I love this school . Mr Bryan Hatch deserves a raise. He actually cares a lot. Real 100

This school is absolutely amazing and helps you along every step of the way all 7 months you’re there. Especially Ivan and Vonya of the student services department that personally helped me through so much of the school year.

If you come in with a serious mindset from the beginning you will learn what you need to learn in order get your foot in the door. A night and day difference from when I first started to where I am now.

Great instructors good tools. Student services always helps you out about anything. Including financial aid and admission reps.

Great program all the way around. Instructors are knowledgeable and patient.Would highly recommend this school.

I go to school here i love it it may have its ups and downs but you gotta stick through it. Youll end up successful

Where do I begin on this train wreck firstly everything I was told before they got my money was sugar coated you will get all your tools needed to complete the school you will have one on one help finding jobs for life you can train after you graduate the tools all broke within a month of the school I needed to buy several other items to complete my projects the career service comes in the form of periodic emails and you are only allowed to train 2 days out of each month after graduating I would NOT recommend this school to anyone if they could ever stop putting money before their students then this might be a good school one day I graduated in March its now almost September and Im still out of work....

Graduated master welder after 10 years experience in welding field before training, welding instructors were good and the school did a good job pushing students thru the program and not supporting them after as promised. Thanks Tulsa welding

Great school to attend. Great instructors and great staff. Vonya and Ivan are with student services and they will happily assist you with any issues you may have.

The School is wonderful and instructors are more than helpful! Coming here is one of the best decisions I have made for my future.

Amazing welding school that doesn’t cut corners and teaches you welding from talented and friendly instructors. Staff will go out of their way to help students find success in the school and even after graduation.

Tws is a great school, Ive always had help whenever I needed. Student services has been very good with all my needs

Tim is a great instructor and cares about his students. This school provides vast employment opportunities

The instructors do a great job at teaching you how to weld especially in the time limit given to you considering this is a very fast paced school.
