Learn to weld from Home
Membership only £9.99 per month
Helping beginners develop the skills and confidence to actually weld, repair, restore and build things for yourself
There’s plenty of free welding information online. Videos can show you how to weld, but they can't look at the weld you've just made and tell you what to improve.
As an Academy member, you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
If you get stuck, ask the Virtual Coach for guidance or upload a photo of your weld and get feedback on what to work on next.

The Virtual Welding Coach — provides you with personalised welding support
This is where Academy Membership goes beyond a traditional online learning.
Ask the Virtual Welding Coach questions about welding techniques, machine settings or a project you're working on. If you want feedback on your progress, take a photo of your weld and upload it directly through the chat. This feature is powered by advance AI and our own learning model.
The Virtual Coach can review your work and provide personalised immediate feedback to help you understand what’s working, what could be improved and what to try next to improve.
As your skills develop, you can keep coming back with new questions, new welds and new projects — giving you practical support whenever you need it.
-
Watch 80+ step-by-step video tutorials, taking you from the foundations of welding and fabrication through to more advanced techniques, materials and practical projects.
The training is broken down into 16 easy-to-follow modules, covering:
Foundations of Welding & Fabrication — including MIG, TIG and MMA
Advanced TIG Welding — including aluminium TIG welding
Sheet Metal & Plasma Cutting
How to Build — step-by-step project videos that put your welding and fabrication skills into practice
-
Put your welding and fabrication skills to use with 15 downloadable beginner friendly project plans designed to give you something practical to work towards.
Each plan helps you understand how a project comes together, with dimensions, cut lists, materials and build instructions to help you move from practising individual welds to actually making things with metal.
Build them as designed or use what you learn as a starting point for your own ideas.
-
Learning a practical skill takes consistency. Each week, we'll give you a reason to get back into the workshop with useful guidance, challenges, project ideas and things to practise.
It’s a simple weekly email designed to keep you motivated, learning and moving your welding skills forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. The Academy is designed with complete beginners in mind. You'll learn about the different welding processes — MIG, TIG and MMA — so you can decide which is right for you.
From there, you can learn the foundational skills step by step, practise at your own pace and progress onto more advanced techniques and projects as your confidence grows.
-
The Welding Coach combines AI technology with expert welding knowledge developed through teaching hundreds of beginner welders in person.
For weld image analysis, we use a computer vision model that has achieved an accuracy rate of 77% in our testing. Like any AI system, it won't get everything right, so its feedback should be used as guidance to help you understand your weld and what to practise next.
The quality of the image matters too. Clear, well-lit photographs where the weld is easy to see will help the Coach provide more useful feedback.
The technology will continue to develop as we improve the Coach and the way it analyses welds.
-
You don't need a workshop full of expensive tools to start welding. At a minimum, you'll need a welder, suitable PPE, an angle grinder and some basic consumables.
If you're not sure what to buy, we've put together a recommended equipment list to help you choose suitable beginner-friendly equipment. We can also provide recommendations and access to discount codes on selected equipment.
One of the great things about learning to weld is that you can get started with a relatively small amount of equipment and add to your setup as your skills and projects develop.
-
Absolutely — YouTube is a great place to learn about welding. The challenge comes when you start practising yourself. A video can show you how to weld, but it can't look at the weld you've just made and tell you what to improve.
The Academy gives you a clear learning path through 16 modules and 80+ videos, taking you from beginner fundamentals through to more advanced welding skills, without having to piece together fragmented information from different sources.
-
Yes. You can cancel your Academy membership at any time. There’s no long-term commitment — simply pay monthly for as long as you want to remain a member.
-
Yes. Learning to weld takes practice, but you can absolutely develop your skills at home.
Our beginner-focused approach concentrates on the areas new welders typically struggle with. Follow the Academy syllabus, practise the techniques and start building our beginner projects to gradually develop your welding and fabrication skills.
And you don't have to figure everything out on your own. If you get stuck, ask the Welding Coach for guidance or upload a photo of your weld to get feedback on what to work on next.
The Weld Space has also received 100+ five-star reviews from people learning welding and fabrication with us.
