Course details

Welding is a joining process that many people attempt to do! Then they produce poor welding joints simply due to poor selection of welding electrodes, amperage used and welding technique. Then they have to hire a professional to do the job properly which could cost hundreds of euros! This course will help you to set up a welding process correctly and help you improve and perfect your welding techniques. If you want to make that Christmas tree holder, sort out that garden bench or discover your inner artist and design a focal point for your garden by welding, this is your chance! This course is VERY popular so early enrolment is recommended.
