For students & apprentices
Make every booth session count
Hood time is expensive and limited. ArcForge helps you walk in with a plan, walk out with feedback, and watch the improvement stack up week over week.
Your loop
From lesson to bead to feedback
Four habits that turn practice into progress.
Study with purpose
Pick the module that matches what you’re welding this week. Lessons are short enough to read at lunch and specific enough to matter in the booth.
Photograph your practice
After a session, shoot your best and worst plates. Add the process, joint, position, and settings — thirty seconds of context for sharper feedback.
Read the feedback
Strengths, possible concerns with confidence levels, and a practice score across seven categories — in honest language that tells you what to verify, not what to believe.
Drill the weak spot
Take the suggested drill back to the booth, run it, re-shoot, and compare side by side. That loop — not luck — is how the trend line moves.
What you get
More than an analyzer
The feedback loop sits inside a full study platform built for the trade.
A defect library that talks straight
Each entry explains the visible clues, the likely causes, and — critically — what a photo can’t confirm about it.
Certification prep without mystery
Concept-level tracks explain how qualification testing works before you spend money on a test date.
A record you can show
Practice history, score trends, and reports turn months of booth time into something an advisor or employer can actually see.
Momentum that compounds
Streaks and achievements reward consistent practice — the single biggest predictor of welding progress.
In a class? If your school or instructor uses ArcForge, you can join their class with an invitation and submit assignments directly — your instructor sees your submissions, and their feedback lands next to the AI’s.
