The Lincoln Electric Welding School Announces Its 2010 Fourth Quarter Schedule
The Lincoln Electric Welding School, which has instructed more than 120,000 students since its inception in 1917, announces its schedule for the fourth quarter of 2010.
The Lincoln Electric Welding School is the oldest and one of the
most respected arc welding schools in the United States. Classes are
taught by the school’s seven full-time instructors who have more than
100 years of combined industry experience. Courses are designed to
teach the arc welding skills that employers need. Lincoln-trained
students are in high demand by welding fabricators at pay levels that
tend to exceed the industry average.
Classes for the fourth quarter range from a six-week basic course to
an advanced 15-week comprehensive course, as well as one-week classes
