Hobart Institute of Welding Technology — Local services in Troy

I am a parent of a recent graduate from Hobart. He selected Hobart because it is one of the top welding schools in the country. He did the 10 month program and grew into adulthood in the process.

This course helped guide me in the direction of being successful Russ and Casey were the instructors and they were beyond great. Just be sure to do your homework every night and study...
