Re: Weld test help

That wasn't even the test I got their couldn't even find the guy I was to report to. Then the test was mig welding on galvanized steel. About 10 ga maybe 12. I did good enough I guess still something I've never done it sucks but I told myself I would stick with it. Hopefully I can find something else.

How does one become a class A, B, or C welder

Keep seeing jobs postings with this just wanting to know. There are some that say you need to fit to do you need to be a full fledged pipe fitter or do you just need to know how?
