[QUOTE="wont work, post: 571734, member: 4320"] It is different state to state and some of the college levels are also. What I had to have when I started was either 7 years on the job work experience or 5 years and graduated from a 2 year technical school in my field, aws certifications in everything I was to be teaching (SMAW, FCAW, GMAW and GTAW), and once hired I had to take 5 classes within 3 years to obtain a level 2 teaching certificate. After all that was completed I was required to get a BS in career Tech education and have also added more welding/welding teacher certifications to that so that I have an equivalent to a masters teacher degree and a level 3 teaching certificate. I have been teaching at my current job 11 years and did 1 year of assistant teacher at the local college. What I have noticed since I have been in this part of the welding industry is many of the teachers have very different backgrounds with most being pipe welders and very few like what I had. I was more along the lines of a service welder for strip pits and rock yards and done mostly big fab jobs in the field. With that being the case most only teach stick welding and don't even touch tig or wire on the high school level. Its funny you asked this because it was a topic for some of us this weekend. I sent 3 A- students to a local comp Friday and all they had to do was weld vertical with 6010 and 7018 rod. They txt me Friday and said they had not won but the guys that did where seniors and had only been welding in a booth for 3 years with stick only. Said they didn't know how to wire weld and had never done it. [/QUOTE]
