any Chicagoland guys take welding classes?
I have been playing with the idea of trying to take a class on welding. I have really only looked at Moraine Valley but I was curious to see if any local guys have taken a class of have an interest in taking a class.
Working midnights and having work pop up regularly during the day it would to take a morning class. I'm by no means looking to become an expert, but wouldn't mind the additional knowledge.
Let me know if you guys have any suggestions or thoughts.

I don't know but I've been tinkering the idea also! I've only welded a few motor plates on mini bikes but nothing to extreme! The welds are still holding up to this day and that was 5 years ago so I must be doing something right! I've got a friend who knows someone ( he has welded a few bumpers from what ive seen) so if I can get him to teach me ill see if I can get u onboard! Hope that helps!

2 days a week for 5 hours each day. I'm looking at possibly doing a m/w or t/th from 1800-2250hrs
It does say there is an additional class cost but no info on it. It's just a basics course
