Montana trains welders entirely through public colleges
All 11 of Montana's welding programs are public; no private-school option shows up in our data for the state at all. Median tuition among the 11 programs reporting a figure is $4,912, well below the $4,728 national median.
Fort Peck Community College in Poplar is the cheapest program in the state; The University of Montana in Missoula costs more, though both are public institutions, so the gap here reflects program length and equipment rather than a public-versus-private split.
Spread thin across a big state
No single Montana city dominates program counts; Great Falls has 1, tied with Havre, and the rest are spread across small towns rather than clustered in a metro. 1 Montana program hosts a co-located AWS Accredited Test Facility for AWS Certified Welder testing.
Billings, MT and Missoula, MT carry Montana's own-site-verified shop directories below, the two metros big enough to clear our listing floor.
