Student Testimonials
“I really enjoyed my time here at IAI. I learned a lot of great welding skills to help me be the best I can be in this trade. I’m very happy with my decision to come to IAI. I have received several offers of employment since graduation and am eager to begin my career.”
“My time at IAI was a great experience to excell my skills as a welder. IAI gives the student hands on learning with the trade and you really learn a lot during the 15 week program. My favorite part is that if you have an issue one of the instructors is right there in the booth either giving you a demonstration, or talking you through it step by step giving you advice on how to improve. Because of the help from the Instructors and Administration, I left IAI with a job interview and other options if I changed my mind. I now have a great job and am learning something new everyday.”
