Thank you! You don't actually have to take classes to get certified if I remember correctly (you can take the test locally). Just look up the joints and positions you want to get certified in, and practice the shit out of them. Though you will NEED to test them like MrSleeve said to do.
Personally though, I would take some sort of class at your local community college. If you want to learn TIG, take an Oxyacetylene (Gas) class. That was probably the best class I have taken as far as retaining what I learned, and learning to control the puddle/heat.
Nah man, my welding teacher was a very nice and upfront asshole, and that is exactly why I learned so much from him. If someone is not doing something right, and you can teach the person how to look for, and fix there own mistakes then they will grow as a welder. I bite my tongue when I see a lot of the welding on this site, but pickachu seems like he knows what he is doing for the most part. :)
