Do I need a high shcool diploma to enroll in a welding shool?

Answer 1

You need a high school diploma to be nearly anything. What employer is going to hire you if you don't have a high school diploma? They are going to think "Gee, if you could not commit to completing your education, then what makes me think that you are going to commit to working well for me?".

To the specific question involving welding; there are some forms of welding that require a great deal of expertise and qualification. You might even discover that you need a college degree to become a welder!

Answer 2

No. Most welding certifications require a test of your welding capabilities not your basic knowledge.

Answer 3

A high school diploma or GED is normally required, but you can still enroll while you are still in high school for a trade program.

Answer 4

I think you can become a welder without a diploma but the hard part would be finding somewhere willing to hire a person without a high school diploma.

Answer 5

Probably not as most schools will accept a G.E.D. in place of a diploma. If you have a GED then you should be in good shape, if you are in high school, get the diploma.

Answer 6

No, a GED is acceptable in most construction schools. You should be able to start the career you want.
