About Us

Our mission is to ignite potential and transform lives by delivering hands‑on welding education that opens doors to powerful, life‑changing careers. We proudly serve youth, young adults, and veterans, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and determination to build a future filled with purpose and possibility.

Through industry‑focused training and unwavering support, we cultivate leaders who uplift their communities, strengthen the workforce, and contribute to long‑term economic growth. At the heart of our mission is a belief in second chances, new beginnings, and the power of skilled trades to shape brighter tomorrows—for individuals, families, and entire communities.

AmeriArc Welding Academy was founded to address the shortage of affordable vocational training in our communities. College isn’t the right path for everyone, leaving many young people and veterans without access to stable, skill‑based career opportunities. Despite technological advances, the need for trained welder remains strong, and industries continue to seek capable, job‑ready workers.

Shorter training timeframe

Only 10-12 weeks to train for a high salary job – no 4-year college degree needed.

Flexible schedules

Night and weekend courses available so trainees don’t have to quit their jobs.

Affordable

AWA doesn’t require tens of thousands of dollars in tuition like other programs – we offer very competitive pricing and value.

Pipe-welding experts

The Bayway Refinery (Phillips 66) and PBF Energy, Inc. are 2 major refineries close to the NJ/NY metro areas, yet there is not one welding school in these areas exclusively offering this welding process/technique.

Conveniently located

Located near major highways and the George Washington Bridge transportation hub.
