Having gone through a full two year pipe welding degree at Big Bend Community College, I have realized that the only reason to recommend anyone for the program would be for the instructor. I have seen first hand that the school fights the instructor and students to get any progress done with student clubs. The school does not help benefit any part of the welding program. It is painful to admit that I had high expectations for the school when I started but after my experience I would only recommend the education from the welding instructor and not the college as a whole. Not to mention the technology that the school has. If you want to gain experience in more modern welding processes then I would suggest a completely different school. The program takes place in a very run down shop that was not built to be a welding shop and is a safety hazard for the students because of the lack of space and utilities.
