Sheet metal training in Seattle, Washington

20 sheet metal programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

4 schools offer these sheet metal programs with classes in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area, and every one is approved for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did. One school runs 12 of these 20 programs, so the typical figures lean heavily on its prices and results.

Sheet metal workers make or install products from thin metal sheets. In construction most learn the trade through a 4- or 5-year apprenticeship; in manufacturing they usually learn on the job or at a technical school. Certifications for specific tasks are available but not required.1

In Seattle, 2 of the 20 programs take students without a high school diploma, 15 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 3 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 20 programs here are short sheet metal course (11 programs), sheet metal apprenticeship (4 programs), sheet metal certificate or diploma (4 programs) and sheet metal (associate degree, 1 program).

How to pay for sheet metal training in Seattle

WIOA funding can pay for sheet metal training in Seattle

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for sheet metal training

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for sheet metal training

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

Where the Seattle sheet metal program numbers come from

Which Seattle sheet metal programs are on this list?

These are the sheet metal programs with classes in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area that are approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Online programs are left out here; they are on the Washington page. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what the area offers.

How the prices and results of Seattle sheet metal programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
