Idaho has a small but genuinely statewide program list
Idaho carries 7 welding programs, 6 of them public. Median tuition among the 7 programs reporting a figure is $3,446, below the $4,728 national median. No program in Idaho hosts a co-located AWS Accredited Test Facility, so testing for AWS Certified Welder after finishing coursework here means a separate trip to an outside test site.
College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls is the cheapest at $3,360. Idaho State University in Pocatello runs highest at $8,610, a four-year university rather than a technical college, which explains most of the gap.
Where the shops are, versus where the schools are
No Idaho city runs more than 1 program on its own; Nampa is one of several tied at the top. The shop side of the directory tells a different story. The Treasure Valley carries most of the state's listed shops.
Boise, ID, Meridian, ID, Nampa, ID together cover the Boise metro area, and each page separates own-site-verified shops from candidates pulled from public sources.
