Great instructors. Never knew a thing about welding but they taught everything I need to know. Love the program, instructors and everything about this place. Would 100% recommend coming here.

2026-07-20T15:43:27.755Z

Great instructors and a solid hands-on program. I learned a lot, built confidence in both structural and pipe welding, and felt well prepared to start my career. I’d definitely recommend MWI to anyone looking to get into welding.

As a veteran student, I’ve been to a few different schools and training programs over the years, and I can honestly say Missouri Welding Institute has been, by far, the best experience I’ve had in any educational setting.What stood out immediately was how they treat you like a person first, not just a student number or a funding source. As a veteran dealing with VA paperwork and appointments, that stuff can get complicated fast. At MWI, if I needed something handled on the VA side, or I had to miss class for a sick call or a VA appointment, they didn’t give me grief or make it feel like I was inconveniencing anyone. They worked with me, no questions asked, and helped me stay on track instead of penalizing me for things that are just part of life after service.That level of understanding is rare. I’ve been in environments where missing even a day feels like you’re one step away from being dropped, especially when VA benefits are involved. In one of my previous programs—coming straight out of a commercial dive school—I genuinely felt like my benefits were being waved in my face as leverage, like I could be removed at any time if I didn’t fit perfectly into their system. It created a constant sense of instability and stress that made it hard to focus on actually learning a trade.MWI was nothing like that.Here, I never felt like I was one inconvenience away from being cut loose. There was stability, structure, and respect. That alone made a huge difference in how I approached training and how much I was able to actually absorb and improve.The instructors were solid and the environment overall was one of the friendliest I’ve been in. People actually wanted to help you get better instead of just pushing you through a pipeline. That kind of culture matters more than people realize, especially for veterans who are trying to rebuild momentum and direction after service.If I had to be honest about the toughest part, it would just be the night shift schedule. It absolutely eats up your free time. By the time you’re done with class, the day is basically gone. But that’s not really a complaint against the school itself—that’s just the reality of training hard in a hands-on trade. If anything, it just teaches you discipline and time management, whether you like it or not.Looking back, after everything I’ve been through—different schools, different programs, and even just graduating from commercial dive training—MWI stands out because it was the first place where I felt like the system wasn’t working against me. It felt like they actually wanted me to succeed, not just pass through.For any veteran considering a trade school, especially someone dealing with VA benefits or transitioning out of another program that didn’t treat you right, MWI is the kind of place that gives you stability and respect while still holding you to a high standard. That combination is hard to find, and it’s what made my experience there stand out so much.

Great school to learn at your own pace with professionals who care to pass on the trade!

I had a great experience at MWI Welding School. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely want to see their students succeed. The hands-on training gave me real welding experience and helped build my confidence in multiple welding processes. The staff creates a positive learning environment and is always willing to answer questions and provide extra guidance when needed. If you're looking to start a career in welding or improve your skills, I highly recommend MWI. The training and support I received prepared me well for entering the workforce.

My experience with MWI has been nothing but amazing from the students that I went to school with to each and every instructor every one is willing to help out even the students I would recommend them to anyone wanting to learn this great trade. The instructions have years of experience in the feild and tell you how it is if there’s something that doesn’t work for you they find a way to make it work

Great School, the 18 week coarse will give anyone looking for a welding career the hands on skills to become a structural and/or pipe welder, with additional experience hands on as a pipe fitter with their FRP facility!

2026-06-08T20:56:52.188Z

Best welding school in the country! Instructors are the best of the best!

2026-06-07T04:13:41.530Z

Great atmosphere to turn your life around if you can put out the effort into it. This welding school gives you an opportunity to change your mindset and physically changes how you approach life and professional work as a whole. All in all, I would recommend MWI as one of a few options to consider first and foremost as it sits almost perfectly between numerous states and major cities, offers housing for students, and the instructors care about your progress and weld quality (are typically friendly too) and guide you on the various techniques going into each type of weld and their positions. And even how to make each weld inevitably eventually look better for your career achievements to go big one day.

We could not be happier with our experience at Missouri Welding Institute! My son absolutely loves attending school here and has developed such a strong passion for welding. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly care about helping students succeed both in the classroom and in the field.It has been amazing watching his confidence, skills, and work ethic grow since starting the program. He comes home excited about what he’s learning every day, which says a lot about the environment and opportunities the school provides.If you are looking for a school that prepares students for a successful future while also making learning enjoyable, I highly recommend Missouri Welding Institute!
