Virginia School of Metal

School type: Private Trade School

This school has 2 listed campus locations. Compare programs and confirmed locations.

Virginia School of Metal is a private welding school that has moved to a 6,000-square-foot facility in Waynesboro under new ownership. Courses range from short introductory workshops to career-focused training and process-specific AWS qualification classes. Current official pages document hands-on instruction in MIG, TIG, Stick and Flux-Core welding, while career material also documents plasma and oxyacetylene cutting. The school offers weekday hours Tuesday through Thursday and selected classes every other weekend. Its current course menu separates introductory, advanced, career-bundle and qualification offerings rather than presenting one four-month program.
