Would a welding course help a plumber cross over to pipefitting?
 
I was a commercial pipefitter welder for 35 years Heating and Gas my advice stick with gas work the trade is crippling I gave it up for domestic work which is far less punishing, welding is a horrible trade can you imagine working in fireproof overalls gauntlets full air fed head shield in mid summer like the one we just had absolutely exhausting . šŸ‘šŸ˜‰ Kop
 
Go for it then mate only you can make that decision , it is rewarding when you finish a big job but it's a battle every day šŸ™‚
 
I would say go for a coded course
 
Had several years welding on pipelines (stovepipe welding) held at various times Lloyds class 1 ASME ix G6 ticket.
As KoP has said not healthiest job and unfortunately the days of
really high pay long gone.
