welding classes ? you don't need no stinking welding classes. any body can pull a trigger. (mig) . but if you really want to learn to weld, learn to stick weld first. its not that hard. I could teach you in about 2 hr's. I am certified In all 4. mig tig stick and brazing. get you a 1/4" piece of flat stock and a buz box (stick welder) and some 1/8" or smaller 6011 rods and just try to spell you name on the piece of stock. when you figure out the right temp and speed to run the rod. try it on a thinner piece. and so on. wile turning the temp down as you go thinner. smaller rods for thinner metal to. once you get the jist of it mig is a brezzzzzzzzzzz. that's just a temp and wire speed. this has been a crash course in welding 101. $50 dollars plezzzzzzzzz. make check payable to,,,, just joking. ;
