Weldtight offers private and small group welding classes for teens and adults interested in learning, refining, or expanding their welding skills. With flexible evening scheduling, our hands-on instruction fits your lifestyle. We also offer small group welding and metal fabrication classes for kids and adults who want to explore creativity and craftsmanship at our shop in Aloha, Oregon.

Explore Basic Welding and Metal Fabrication In A Safe and Fun Environment

 

If you’re curious about welding as a potential career, our private and small group classes offer a low-pressure way to get real, hands-on experience. Spend time in the shop learning the fundamentals, working with tools, and understanding what welding feels like in practice. It’s an ideal way to explore the craft, build confidence, and decide what you want next—without committing to a formal program right away.

Many students come to Weldtight with a project in mind. Whether you’re a car enthusiast, a DIYer, or someone tackling a custom home project, our classes help you develop practical welding skills you can actually use. We focus on safe techniques, problem-solving, and understanding materials so you can approach your own projects with clarity and confidence.

Learn, create, and have fun together

 

Welding doesn’t have to be serious to be meaningful. Our small group classes are designed for people who want to try something new, get creative, and enjoy the experience. Artists, couples, families, and friends are welcome to explore metal as a creative medium, share a unique date night, or bond while learning a hands-on skill.

We’re especially passionate about teaching kids. Our youth classes focus on safety, curiosity, and confidence, giving kids the chance to work with real tools in a supportive environment. Watching young students discover what they can create with metal is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
