I don't really want to do online college at the moment however I would enjoy being able to do welding work or hands-on trade schooling in my off time. Has anyone done this before and gotten TA for it? All the resources I can find have to do with credentials and online college, nothing to do with actually going to something like a shop and doing SMAW/GMAW welding or Machining at a trade school in my off time.
(Already called on-post education center, by the way, I'm just curious if anyone has any experience doing this kinda thing.)

If it doesn't result in a cert or degree or isn't a prerequisite for some type of program, TA/CA isn't going to pay for it. TA is meant to fund education leading to a degree or certification. If it doesn't lead to a degree or certification it falls outside the parameters of the federal funding

Yes it can be but it depends on the course and certification you are attempting.
