Missouri splits its welding training between two metro poles
Kansas City and St. Louis anchor most of what's on file here, out of 18 Missouri programs total, 16 of them public. Median tuition, from the 17 programs reporting a figure, is $7,515, above the $4,728 national median across 916 programs.
St Charles Community College in Cottleville is the cheapest program in the state at $3,048. Midwest Technical Institute-Missouri in Springfield tops the list at $18,716, more than 6x the cheapest option.
Choosing a program in Missouri
Programs are spread thin outside the two big metros; Springfield leads with only 2 programs on file, matched by Poplar Bluff. 4 programs statewide co-locate an AWS Accredited Test Facility, so testing for AWS Certified Welder can happen on the same campus.
The shop directory tells a different story than the school count: Columbia, MO, Independence, MO, Kansas City, MO and more Missouri metros are listed below, each with own-site-verified shops for anyone already certified and looking for work.
