depends on what company u test for it will be what they call a bell and a branch the bell is just too pieces of pipe together like it will be in the ditch the branch is u saddle a pipe put the other on top of the saddle and weld it it is not a legal weld just to see if u can really weld the best thing too do is get on a line and those guys will help u a bunch and u can make 1300-1500 a week as a helper after taxes

Have you thought about going to your local comunity college? If you are working during the day take some night classes.

You really need to get with  GOOD welder and be his helper for a little while. You have no clue what you will learn as a helper. Plus you will be able to make good money while you try to rig out. I would get everything I needed before I broke out on my own and you can do that as a helper.
