What To Bring To Class

Many of the welding failures we encounter are related to eyesight deficiencies!
Bring to class:

  • any prescription eyewear or magnifier lenses typically used in your welding helmet.
  • work safety shoes.
  • auto-darkening helmets if you need a shade setting lower than 9.
  • protective jackets.

Clothing Requirements for all Tesla Welding

These items must be worn at all times whilst the student is in the practical work areas.
PLEASE NOTE: OVERALLS ARE TO BE BOILER SUIT TYPE. NOT SLEEVELESS OR BIB AND BRACE TYPE. NO POLO SHIRTS, T-SHIRTS, SHORTS or TROUSERS SUCH AS WORK UNIFORMS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
