What’s TWS All About
Tulsa Welding School (TWS) was founded in 1949 in Tulsa, Oklahoma by two welders to meet the demand for skilled tradespeople in the welding industry. Since then, TWS has become a multi-campus institution that trains students in the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for entry-level positions in the skilled trades:
TWS has expanded its programs and opened two new campuses to meet the growing demand not only for welders, but also for technicians in the HVAC/R and welding industries. Tulsa Welding School Jacksonville was opened in 2001 in Jacksonville, Florida. Tulsa Welding School & Technology Center was opened in 2014 in Houston, Texas. Tulsa Welding School opened a new campus in the Dallas metro area in 2023.
To expand our skilled trades training opportunities to more people, and to meet the demand for skilled welders, HVAC/R technicians, and electricians, TWS has opened three new campuses since 2001:
- Tulsa Welding School Jacksonville was opened in 2001 in Jacksonville, Florida.
- Tulsa Welding School & Technology Center was opened in 2014 in Houston, Texas.
- Tulsa Welding School opened its fourth campus and second Texas campus in Dallas in 2023.
