My buddy has been taking serious baking classes at the local tech college (he is a retired doctor and loves baking though they wanted him to take an English test to make sure he could communicate well enough to learn) and tells me that it is free once you hit 60 years on your meter. I recently did that (HTF did that happen????) so was thinking to go learn welding since it costs nothing but time and I think a materials fee. They have a whole sequence to get a certificate but I was thinking that maybe just a couple of the proper classes would be sufficient? Or just go for it? I could probably fit it all in around my current obligations.

Here is the list of courses (copy/paste sorta messes up the formatting of the pdf http://www.tridenttech.edu/_files/catalog/it/Wldg_GMA_FCA_fa.pdf )

Any thoughts from the welding pros on a strategy? Should I talk to them to see what a hobbyist would be best to do?
