Introduction to welding | One-day welding course

Introduction to Welding:

This one-day welding course will introduce you to the basics of welding metal and let you have a go at welding to create a product of your own. The course explores the two most common welding processes MIG and MMA (Stick) Welding.

Over the day; you will use both welding processes and learn the difference between the two. You will also use angle grinders to prepare metal for welding and use them to clean up welds. You will learn best practise for welding metal of different thicknesses and size. We will look at the setting up the machinery and machine trouble shooting.
