None. We meet students where they are, no matter what your level of experience is. CCWS programs are designed as a comprehensive course starting from the ground up.

Give us a call! We are happy to walk prospective students through the entire process, and answer any questions you or your family might have!

Once you have submitted your application you can expect to hear from CCWS within a few days. If you are accepted into the program, we will schedule a meeting to walk you through the student handbook, school supplies, enrollment agreement, waiver, and course curriculum. Parents and loved ones are welcome to participate in this meeting to ask questions.

We get it - life happens! We try our best to be flexible and accommodating with student circumstances. We ask that you give us as much of a heads up as possible if you know you will be missing a class. We will work to schedule make-up classes on a case by case basis. It is important to note that students may be removed from the program, without a refund, if you have two or more unexcused absences. Communication is essential - contact information for all CCWS staff is provided to all students.

While CCWS does not currently participate in federal financial aid programs, we are here to help you explore private funding options. We’ll walk you step-by-step through resources such as private loans, and other financing solutions to help make your welding education more accessible.

Yes - your application fee will be applied toward your tuition balance. Application fees are otherwise nonrefundable.
