congratulations TD. I too weld (not always by choice) and as the rest of these bone heads... uuuhh guys, said, practice, practice, practice. I learned on ships, no classes. I have learned most of what I know by myself and become proficient through practice. some TIG, a lot of pipe welding and plenty of fabricating special tools to make some other job easier. a very good skill to have and always in demand. torch is another good tool, for cutting and soldering, etc.... 
what kind of course are you taking, to what level?

Yes, I've seen some really good aluminum welds in my life.  It takes a special aptitude and attitude to do aluminum well!
