Welding lessons are always valuable, and they teach you welding techniques, not car bodies. I suggest that anyone who wants to use metal should choose a separate welding class.
My hobby is welding, I can tell you, after I learned, I have 96% of the time spent on repair and manufacture of automobile project, as well as the manufacturing of automobile metal projects - although I want to do in the auto panel welding! This is a valuable skill, and even if you find the crash fix isn't for you, it will take you somewhere.
