New York's welding-shop directory dwarfs its list of training programs
12 welding training programs appear in New York's IPEDS and College Scorecard data, 10 public and 2 private. That's a modest list for a state this size. Median tuition among the 12 programs reporting a figure is $11,646, against a $4,728 national median across 916 programs.
Cost varies sharply inside that short list. Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica runs $6,218; Apex Technical School in Long Island City runs $18,400. Both sit in the table above with every other New York program on file.
Where the shops are, versus where the schools are
No single city holds New York's welding programs. Long Island City lists the most on file, and that's just 1 program, tied with Schenectady at 1. 2 of them co-locate an AWS Accredited Test Facility, so testing for AWS Certified Welder doesn't require a separate trip.
The shop side of this page tells a different story. 6 New York metros carry their own welding-shop directory, and the largest, New York, NY, lists 55 shops on its own, more than the entire state's program count combined. A welder trained anywhere in New York can work in any of those metros once certified; the pages are linked below.
