When I started at MWI, I had very little experience with the SMAW welding process and no experience with structural and pipe welding. I learned how to do these and a steady pace and really improved from when I started. I had more experience with GTAW, but I wasn’t the best. I really improved and enjoyed the GTAW process. I also really like the way the program is set up by having 1 hour of classroom time at the beginning of the day and the rest of the day welding, instead of having a whole day of classroom time. I really like that the classroom time gets turned into learning hot to be a pipe fitter when you get to the last month of the program, it helps you learn more and how to fit it you would need to do so. The instructors are very knowledgeable and the placement is very good. I recommend this school for any level of experience you have it helped me learn a lot and gave me something to do with my life.

One of the best welding schools out there for sure. Great instructors and they also have a great staff. Would recommend to anyone wanting to lean the trade. Less

Missouri welding institute is the best school for learning the trade, the instructors are always willing to help, the course teaches you a lot about specific thing while welding Less

Amazing school, Instructors, as well as endless materials to use to better yourself. Recommend if you never welded before or have or just trying to further your career this is the spot. 10/10 Less

Missouri Welding Institute has got to be one of the top ten trade schools in the world. I came here with what I thought was a good amount of knowledge in welding but found out I still had A LOT to learn. I already have a job lined up because of the placement director and I still have a few weeks of schooling left. MWI is hands down best welding school and I thank them for everything. Less

I came into this school with a little structural experience but nothing crazy. Started and progressed well but got hung up a few times. Thankfully the great instructors were there close by to always help out and give tips or run some demos. I tested out of my 2” upgrades and tested for a company thanks to the great placement program. Met a lot of great guys out here too. Thank you Missouri Welding Institute for shaping me into a higher level of craftsman and putting some great skills in place for me Less

Hands down the best welding school I've ever seen honestly, came into this school with absolutely no experience. Barely even knew how to put a rod in a stinger and the phenomenal instructors helped me out the whole way through, came out with a really nice job thanks to the placement director, if I could give 10 stars I would. Met a bunch of great friends along the way, as well as learning various valuable skills I didn't know beforehand. Thank you missouri welding Institute for all you've done for me. Less

Great school filled with instructors who truly have a passion for teaching the newer or less experienced welders. If you’ve never welded before or maybe you’ve been doing it for a couple years but you want to get better, this is the place for you. Their program is very well organized. When I looked into attending a school to further my current welding education I did a lot of online research and this place seemed to be the best. I can say I would definitely come back again. At the end of the day though it is what you make it, if you want to soak up all the knowledge you can from these guys you need to bust your ass, stay focused and get at it and it WILL pay off in the end. Coming to this school is a small investment that’ll make a big impact on your future. Keep burning rod Less

This is one the best if not the best welding school in the country. I would recommend this to any young welder out there to come to this school and get the most you can from it. The instructors are great. The equipment they use are all good. Also made a lot of life long friends from this school. Less

Really great program and learned a lot of good and useful information to get me a great start into the trade just wish there was a better student to instructor ratio Less

Amazing school definitely one i would return to. I had a great personal experience with the school it was fun and also challenging. Welding is a craft that everyone here takes pride in so they push you to become the best you can. Less

I had an excellent experience here at MWI. Lots and lots of good quality weld time. If you're coming here to have your hand held and to be coddled, probably not the ideal place. However, if you want to put in a lot of hard work and be constantly guided by instructors that genuinely care and want to see you improve and succeed, this is the school for you. Derrick was truly an excellent instructor and gave me the confidence and ability to succeed in this career field. #Pecanmafia Less

I am an officially a MWI graduate 2024 one of the best schools I can say wasted my time at different school for a whole year and came straight here learned a lot more . These instructors know what they are doing !#PECANMAFIA Less

Best decision I’ve made is to come to MWI, the instructors are great they make it easy to understand how to weld. Would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to become a welder. They teach you everything you need to know to become a welder… Blue print reading, OSHA safety, trade math, pipe fitting, & most importantly how to weld Less

Instructors are extremely helpful and make you feel at home. I camein knowing nothing about welding and I'm about to leave here with knowledge of Tig welding Less

Great school and great instructors! Graduating from the school soon and I’ve learned a lot since I have been here, I’ve never welded before I got here and I have definitely been able to increase my skills a lot in such a short amount of time. Less

Missouri Welding institute is a great place, i’ve learned more than I ever thought I would. The 18 week course was very helpful for learning anything from stick root to tig root on 6 inch pipe or 2 inch pipe. I’d recommend this to anyone great school! Less

Great school! Lots of good time while still being able to learn a lot in class. I think the pipe lab is great because you are actually able to do hands on training and it is very nice be able to physically do the things you learn about in class. Would definitely come here again Less

Very good school, I enjoyed the atmosphere of the school, 2nd shift was great with the best instructors to learn from. They really care about what they’re teaching and it showed. They helped me get to where I’m at in welding and I’ll always be grateful. Less

Great school and great instructors. They are alot bigger than I last knew them back in 1995. I would of like to of known more about the machines and alottle more time with instructors. I had a great time Less

I'm about to finish here. Been welding and learning for the past 18 weeks. This school is worth the money.

Keep your hood down burn rods like there's no tomorrow til your real good at laying welds. Study study. The courses here are awesome. Less

I came here with no experience and the instructors were extremely helpful and very nice. I would highly recommend coming here to start your welding career. Less

Great school so would recommend to anyone who is willing to work hard and wants to learn how to weld and prep material, instructors are good at explaining techniques and other knowledge about welding Less

Love the school, it’s a great balance where the instructors show you how to do everything but they also let us kinda find our own way. 1st shift has great and hilarious instructors. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are looking to get into welding Less

i attended missouri welding institute from january to may and all i can say is this is a great school. you learn what you need in a compacted amount of time. you get a feel for the basics of welding and how it would feel being on a job site. you go through the whole process of cutting your own material, preparing it, and welding it all the way through. would recommend to anyone who asks. Less

I attended MWI in 2024 it’s a great school for anyone wanting to start a career in the welding field. They taught me everything I need to know at a good pace to know I had things down. It’s a quick and good way to start your career with it only being 4 months long. Less

Great school, great instructors, and great involvement. The atmosphere of the place was great. Being able to learn a new skill and perfecting it was amazing. Less

I attended MWI in the fall of 2022. It's a great school! All instructors are experienced and very patient. They take the time to work with students individually, as well as a class. Would highly recommend this school to anyone wanting to become a welder/pipefitter! Less
