# Open an exercise. There are four choices for creating an exercise: Open, GMAW (MIG), GTAW (TIG), SMAW (Stick). If you know what type of weld you want to practice go for the open exercise because it will allow for the most customization. If this is a new experience, select the type of weld you are practicing and roll with one of the preset courses.
