What We Teach at 100X Weld Training

 

At 100X Weld Training, our curriculum is built directly on the 28-year career of our lead instructor, Joshua Esposito. We don’t teach from a textbook; we teach from experience. Whether you are a beginner picking up a torch for the first time, a hobbyist looking to refine your skills, or a career welder preparing for formal testing, our training focuses on the practical, hands-on techniques used in real-world fabrication and structural environments.

​

Welding Processes

 

We offer specialized instruction in the primary welding processes used in industry today:

• MIG / GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding): Foundational training in wire-feed welding, focusing on machine setup, technique, and weld quality.

• Stick / SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding): Essential training in manual arc welding, teaching students how to master bead control and weld in various conditions.

• TIG / GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding): Precision welding instruction for students who need to master the control required for high-quality, specialized joints.

• FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding): Advanced process training provided for specific structural or industrial applications where applicable.

​

Fundamental Welding Skills

 

Before mastering the arc, students must master the shop. Our training integrates these core fundamentals into every course:

• Welding Safety: Strict adherence to PPE standards, hazard recognition, and safe shop practices.

• Metal Preparation: Proper grinding, cleaning, and material finishing techniques.

• Cutting: Industrial methods for material separation and sizing.

• Weld Positions: Comprehensive practice in flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead welding positions.

• Joint Preparation: Best practices for fit-up, beveling, and designing joints for structural integrity.
