Most likely just a High School Education or a GED (maybe not even that). You also need to go to a trade school that specializes in Underwater Welding. Also, it is a very dangerous job.

∙ 12y agoThat depends on how knowledgeable you want to be. Whether you want to be a part of actually 'getting dirty' and welding for a living or be more on the engineering side of welding.
If you want to be welding, going through a welding union or pipefitters union will give you some skills. There are also many local technical schools that are searchable via web.
If you want higher education, where you could become a welding technician or a welding engineer, you will need to go to a college. Many smaller, local colleges can offer an Associates degree in Welding Technology.
If you want to go even further, there are not many places to do that. The two largest Bachelors degree programs in the nation are at Ferris State University in Michigan and Ohio State University. Ohio State University is currently the only school in the United states that offers a Masters and currently a Doctorate in Welding Engineering.

What You Receive From A Welding Education?
When you attend welding school you will gain a wealth of knowledge. Welding education is more than learning how to turn a welder on, it is an in depth study of metals and alloys. All metals and alloys are not welded in the same manner. Because of the different types of properties each have they must be welded accordingly. When you get your welding education you will learn the difference between MIG, TIG, Flux Core and Heli Arc welding. You will gain a working understanding of how each metal is used in the construction industry and how to secure them. You will also learn about the different types of welding equipment. If you further your education you may advance to become a welding inspector. Welding is such a crucial aspect to any construction project that inspectors are highly trained and well paid positions. Welding is the basis for most types of construction. Buildings, ships and even roads all have a metal structure to them. Welding is one of the few careers that will not disappear in the new technological age. You will find there are many welding positions in the shipbuilding industry, car industry and , of course, construction industry. There are many private sector jobs that require welding and weld shops are found everywhere in the country. You may also further your education to include specialty welding. There is always a need for under water welders or welders that can work on specialty alloys. Under water welders will be required to have a scuba diving certification prior to receiving a welding cert. When you are ready to graduate you will be given the certification tests. These tests are for working with different metals and welding in different positions. Each certification that you pass will enhance your employment opportunities. While being certified is not required in many welding positions, it is a bonus for higher paying jobs in the workforce. A welding education can take anywhere from 18 months to 4 years to acquire. The length of your schooling will depend on how advanced you wish to go. To make welding inspector you will need a 4 year degree. Specialty welding may add a year to your education. In general, a welder can be educated and certified in less than 2 years.
