If you have zero experience, classes are definitely a good idea. Skilled professionals sometimes offer private welding classes. There are also 2-yr associate's degree programs where you can learn. Alternatively, you could volunteer or become an apprentice at a welding shop. As with almost anything in life, practice is what will perfect your skills and craft. Once you're confident enough, there's a welding certification exam the you can take.

I'm not a welder but have learned that mastering your craft takes time. I've been working in the field of Property and Casualty Insurance for almost 20 years and I am still learning. Innovation changes the skill sets needed for any job type. Personally, what I had to know about Insurance 20 years ago has changed quite a bit since then. My recommendation is that you take the needed classes to become a welder, hands-on work is likely where you will learn the most and continue to take continuing education classes to stay up to date the changes in your industry.
