MBIT night classes start Sept. 13/14th so you can still sign up now for them. I'm not sure if Welding 1 is the right choice for someone who is looking to learn to MIG weld... maybe it provides the proper background? The cost for the class is $375 which is fine with me if it is going to be helpful to me. The class meets once a week for 3 hours, for 10 weeks total.
Here is the info about their classes:

Welding I
Learn the basic welding skills through this self-paced, hands-on program. This class provides basic theory
and hands-on lab instruction for acquiring the proper skills in the safety set up, and operation procedures in the
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) stick welding and Oxy-Fuel Cutting (OFC) processes. All training is in
accordance with national standards of the American Welding Society (AWS) and the American National Standard
Institute (ANSI Z49.1), Safety in Welding and Cutting for Welders. Work boots (steel toed preferred), safety glasses,
earplugs, and 100% cotton clothing are required. Glasses and earplugs will be available for a nominal fee the first
night of class.
Welding II
This advanced class provides theory and hands-on instruction in acquiring the proper skills in the safety, set up,
and operation procedures in the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) MIG welding, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
TIG welding and Plasma Arc Cutting (PAC) processes. All training is to national standards, according to the
American Welding Society (AWS) and the American National Standard Institute (ANSI Z49.1), Safety in Welding
and Cutting for Welder. Work boots (steel toed preferred), safety glasses, earplugs, and 100% cotton clothing are

Middle Bucks Institute of Technology is recognized by the American Welding Society (AWS) as a participating
organization in the training and testing of entry–level welders, in conjunction with Welding Testing and Training
Institute (WTTI) as a Remote Test Facility. This allows participating students and current welders with the
appropriate skills the opportunity to practice and complete certification tests on premises. Testing can be offered at
the completion of these courses, at specific dates and times to be determined, for an additional testing fee.
