The system of claim 1, further comprising a bar code scanner. 16. The system of claim 1, further comprising a biometric scanner. 17. The system of claim 14, wherein the system recalls from memory a section of the training program that the user last initiated. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the section of the training program is a welding setup of the system. 19. The system of claim 17, wherein the section of the training program is a virtual weld that the user last created. 20. The system of claim 1, wherein the system allows the user to recall and display a history of completed procedures and modules. 21. The system of claim 20, wherein the system separately tracks and recalls progress of each separate user. 22. A simulated welding method, comprising the steps of: providing a simulated welding system, comprising: a mock welding coupon;a mock welding tool for simulating a welding process on the mock welding coupon, wherein the mock welding tool is configured to be spatially tracked by a spatial tracker when manipulated by a user relative to the mock welding coupon; anda programmable processor-based subsystem operable to execute coded instructions;simulating, by the simulated welding system, creation of weldment responsive to the user's manipulation of the mock welding tool relative to the mock welding coupon, wherein the weldment includes defects resulting from the manipulation, by the user, of the mock welding tool relative to the mock welding coupon;performing, by the simulated welding system, a simulated test of the weldment by comparing data representing the defects of the weldment to predefined welding standards and generating corresponding test data; andoutputting, by the simulated welding system, recommended corrective actions for the user based at least in part on the test data. 23. A method for simulating welding activity, comprising: spatially tracking a mock welding tool relative to a mock welding coupon for a simulated welding operation;receiving information related to said spatial tracking of said mock welding tool during said simulated welding operation;simulating a weldment based on said received information during said simulated welding operation;simulating a test on said simulated weldment to generate test data corresponding to at least one characteristic of said simulated weldment, said at least one characteristic corresponding to a physical property of a weld;comparing said test data to predefined welding standards to determine whether there is a defect in said simulated weldment; andoutputting a recommended corrective action to a display based at least in part on said test data.
