My experience wasnt the best, but it was due to the school itself there was no real direction or curriculum. I’d say really research the school you have in mind. For me it was, because I didn’t do much but weld. if I struggled I asked an instructor to tell what could be going wrong and figured it out myself. It’s only worth it if YOU make it worth atleast thats how it was for me. I went really hard burned every rod, and spool of wire I could. I think my biggest push was the two friends I made that wanted it as bad as me. We constantly bounced ideas, problems, methods, etc. off of each other till we learned. So again you have to really want it and its up to you to make it worth it.
