Turn Your Trade Experience Into an Estimating Career
The complete route from ‘good with my hands’ to ‘the one who prices the work’ — 8 sequenced courses, the actual 21-sheet estimating workbook shops use to quote jobs, and a portfolio estimate you can put in front of an employer.
14-day money-back guarantee. Includes the Apex Welding Estimator workbook — yours to keep and use at work.
Capped out on the tools?
You’re good at your trade. Your welds pass. Your hours are steady. And your paycheque has stopped moving.
The biggest raises don’t go to the best hands — they go to the people who can price the work: read the whole drawing package, take off the material, estimate the labour, and put a number on the job that makes the shop money. Estimators get pulled off the tools and into the money conversations.
Nobody teaches this on the job, and college estimating courses run semesters long at $400–$800 per course and aren’t built for welders. That’s the gap this pathway closes.
Eight steps. One skill set.
You keep the tools.
The Apex Welding Estimator: a 21-sheet commercial workbook (takeoff, pricing, labour, consumables, equipment, overhead, waste, contingency, markup, final estimate, customer quote, job costing, actual-vs-estimated, profitability), licensed and personalized to the buyer, updated through their account. Plus calculators, worksheets, quote and change-order templates, and jobsite documentation.
Walk out with proof.
A completed portfolio estimate: a work sample for employers, not a claim. By the end of the capstone you’ll have priced a real project package end to end — something concrete you can put in front of a hiring manager.
