Welding

Welding Course
Students on a Welding Course

Anyone can weld!  Welding is an invaluable skill for many repairs around the home, workshop or car, yet few people know how to weld, but anyone can do it.  Spend the day in our fully equipped workshop and learn the correct way to Arc, Mig and Gas weld. 

The day course will start with health and safety in the workshop followed by an introduction to the use of tools and equipment.  This is a practical course and you will learn the following skills while learning to weld:

  • Basic metallurgy; metal, steel and non-ferrous
  • Judging heat of metal by its colour
  • Effect on metal of different temperatures
  • Theory and practical use of Arc, Mig and Gas welding
  • Testing welds
  • Dressing welds; grinder and file

Our one day welding course is perfect to teach you to weld, and most of our students leave the centre to go home and practice their new skill safely and successfully. 

“That was the best one day course I have ever done. It has boosted my confidence. I feel able to tackle simple welding tasks." - Robert, Ringwood

There are only four places on each course, allowing you to progress at your own pace and work with our experienced welding  tutor.  Students are welcome to bring in their own welder if they have one, so they can be shown how to use it properly.

£88.00
