Flexible Welding and Electrical Training Now Available at TWS Jacksonville

At Tulsa Welding School (TWS) in Jacksonville, Florida students now have even more opportunities to pursue a skilled trades education without putting their life on hold. Through expanded weekend and overnight class schedules, the campus is offering increased flexibility for two of its most popular hands-on programs: Professional Welder and Electrical Applications.

Whether you’re working full-time, caring for a family, or simply need a training schedule that works around your life, these programs are designed to meet you where you are, without sacrificing the quality of education or job-readiness.

Starting July 1, 2025, students can now choose from alternative class times specifically built to accommodate those who need to learn outside of traditional weekday hours.

Electrical Applications – 7-Month Diploma Program

• Lecture: Online, asynchronous (complete at your own pace)
• Lab: Saturdays, 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.
• Additional Lab Days: Sunday attendance required on scheduled dates such as 9/28/2025 and 10/26/2025.

This hybrid format is ideal for working adults. Students study electrical theory during the week, then get hands-on practice with tools, wiring systems, and code applications in Saturday lab sessions. This program is designed to prepare you for entry-level roles in residential, commercial, or industrial electrical work.

Professional Welder – 7-Month Diploma Program

• Overnight Schedule: Monday through Friday, 12 a.m. – 5:15 a.m.

This schedule is designed for those who need to keep daytime hours free—whether that’s for work, parenting, or other responsibilities. Students train in structural and pipe welding through a fast-paced, hands-on curriculum that emphasizes real-world skills and workplace safety.

Real, Valuable Job Training

Both the Professional Welder and Electrical Applications programs emphasize practical, industry-relevant training. Students learn by doing, using tools and techniques common in the field, under the instruction of professionals with trade experience.

Electrical Applications covers topics such as:

• Electrical code compliance (e.g., National Electrical Code)
• Residential and commercial wiring systems
• Circuit breakers, conduits, and service panels
• Diagnostic tools and safety procedures

Professional Welder training includes:

• SMAW (stick), GMAW (MIG), and GTAW (TIG) welding processes

• Welding safety and proper use of PPE

Graduates of both programs are prepared to pursue work in high-demand fields such as construction, fabrication, energy, and maintenance. TWS offers career services support including job search assistance, resume workshops, and interview preparation.
