Our Flexible Classes Start Every Monday!
Learn More About Us and The Best Opportunity in the Welding Industry
We are the only training center offering a boot camp-style welding program that features an official partnership with trade union contractors. Our program includes 450 hours of intensive hands-on welding training. At the conclusion of your training, union contractors will visit our facility to administer the UA63 weld test to participating students. Upon successfully passing this test, students are directed to the union hall of their choice, where they are placed on an industrial project as a pipe, tube, or structural welder.
Learn from the best
When we say we're the best in the industry we mean it. We've got the training program dialed in and our instructors are some of the most experienced pipe & tube welders in the Southeast.
Our sister company M3 Power Group provides specialty welding services to most major power generation utilities in the country. We guarantee the skills you learn at Fusion Welding Institute are legitimate because the skills we teach... we use every single day in the field.
Why would you trust a "welding school" that has never actually welded anything in real life?
When it comes to training, network and real field experience, there is only one clear choice on your path to becoming a certified welder.
Flexable Training Schedule
Our training schedule is probably the single standout advantage that Fusion Welding Institute offers. You can complete the welding program entirely at your convenience. We understand you have a busy life, and it can be hard to balance time for work, family, and training.
Our facility is open 55 hours a week to accommodate your busy schedule. Come in when you want and leave when you want; our instructors will keep you on track. We are open for training from Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM.
Prioritizing Quality Above All Else
We spare no expense in providing the highest quality tools, training materials, and shop equipment. Our facility is second to none; welding contractors nationwide seek us out to provide an optimal test experience for their welders going to the field.
What You Get From the Program Skill-Network-Certification
- Skill: Fusion Welding Institute provides the most valuable deliverable by equipping you with the skill set to weld at the highest level. The knowledge and skills you obtain at FWI will prepare you to weld in the most demanding sectors of the welding industry.
- Network: Fusion Welding Institute's facility doubles as a weld testing facility for Duke Energy alliance contractors along with many other heavy industrial welding companies. The people you will meet, and the industry network and contacts you will gain is unmatched by any traditional welding school.
- Certification: testing is provided by Central Maintenance & Welding our union contractor partner. Your welding certification(s) are uploaded into the common arc system and/or submitted to the union hall of your choice (Pipe fitters, Boilermakers or Iron Workers).
*Note: While students are not required to work with trade unions after graduation, we believe that these unions offer valuable opportunities for our graduates. We encourage students to take full advantage of these resources. At the same time, it's important for students to explore non-union opportunities as well, ensuring they have a well-rounded view of their career options.
