RWMA offers this intensive 2-day course about the basics of resistance welding once a year. The school is designed to give operators, production supervisors, engineers, and others the opportunity to study, better understand, and further their knowledge in the theory, applications, and equipment used in the resistance welding process. This intense learning atmosphere will better prepare the unfamiliar and further educate the experienced.

The Instructors
Each course session is conducted by carefully selected, accomplished professionals from within the resistance welding industry. With more than 150 years of combined experience among these six instructors you are bound to feel the educational impact these professionals will deliver. There are no quizzes and no exams. But by opening the lines of communication, you will be given the opportunity to learn at your own pace, ask questions, meet the instructors on a one-on-one basis, and discuss individual welding concerns encountered in your own shops.

The Program
This is the only resistance welding school sponsored by the voice of the industry ­ the RWMA. Each program session is prepared to offer every participant a thorough knowledge of resistance welding. Actual demonstrations and hands-on participation using a classroom welder and other auxiliary equipment aid tremendously in the learning process.

Have some parts you want to discuss? Bring them!

Have some problems you want to brainstorm? Bring them!

Have others who need to improve or further their knowledge of resistance welding? Bring them!
