History

In 1997, two Peoria welders saw a need for dedicated welding instruction intended to prepare welders for industry. Illinois Welding School filled that need, opening its doors in May 1997. Today Illinois Welding School is an intense, results-oriented and professional welding training school. The school operates year-round, educating students on welding safety, processes and techniques in addition to blueprint reading, welding symbols and pipefitting. In 2003, IWS expanded to serve the Chicago-land area by opening the Romeoville Campus, in addition to the 35 welding and cutting stations, Illinois Welding School is equipped with fume collection systems, individual welding machines, weld benches, positioners and fixtures.

Training and Work Ethic

Welding is a skill, a skill that can only be honed with practice. Illinois Welding School offers four career-oriented programs, each with a narrow focus on the goals of our students. The program curriculums operate with over 80 percent hands on training in the weld shop and less than 20 percent spent in the classroom.

We require the same personal qualities from students that employers require from their employees. Dependability, a positive attitude and a good work ethic are critical to each student’s success. Quality work and safe work habits are essential. These core values have been and will continue to be the keystone of our training programs.

Every Illinois Welding School Instructor is qualified in all the processes they teach. Our seasoned instructors have knowledge of the all the processes taught plus on-the-job welding experience. Our student-instructor ratio is a maximum twenty to one, assuring each student receives the personalized instruction they need.
