What’s included in your Online TIG Welding Course
TIG welding can feel complicated when you're getting started, particularly when you're faced with all the controls and settings on the machine. This course breaks TIG welding down step by step, helping you understand your machine, develop the essential torch and filler-rod techniques, and start joining mild steel. You'll then progress into AC TIG welding, learning the settings, equipment and techniques needed to start welding aluminium.
-
Develop the coordination and control needed to produce consistent TIG welds. Learn how to position and control the torch, maintain the correct angle and distance from the material, introduce filler rod and control the weld pool.
You'll practise tack welds, weld passes, butt joints and fillet joints on mild steel, building the fundamental techniques you'll need for future TIG welding projects.
-
Take the confusion out of the controls on your TIG welder. Learn what the different settings actually do and how they affect the weld, so you can start setting up and adjusting your own machine with confidence.
You'll learn about amperage, 2T and 4T operation, upslope and downslope, pulse TIG welding and practical machine setup.
-
Take your TIG skills further and discover how to start welding aluminium using AC TIG. Learn why aluminium requires different machine settings and understand how controls such as AC balance and AC frequency affect the welding process.
You'll also learn about aluminium preparation, suitable consumables and filler rods, torch technique and how to set up your machine before putting everything into practice with aluminium welding demonstrations.
-
Understand what you need to start MIG welding safely at home. Learn about the essential PPE, welding equipment and consumables you'll need, along with how to prepare your workspace and material before welding.
We'll also cover the key safety considerations involved in MIG welding, helping you get set up correctly and start practising with confidence.

Support whenever you need it. Built from the experience of real people learning to weld.
The workshops we run in Plymouth aren't separate from our online programme — they help power it. Learning online gives you access to technology informed by the real questions people ask, the welding mistakes they made and the experiences of learners in our workshops.
Learner welds are photographed and catalogued, helping us build a growing library of real welding examples and common mistakes.
This data is used to train our own AI model. Using computer vision — a form of artificial intelligence — it learns what to look for in the pixels of an image. It can then compare what it sees with known examples in its training data and recognise the characteristics and faults experienced welders look for.
We teach people to weld and see the real questions and common faults beginners experience.
Welds have visible characteristics — shape, consistency, bead size and common defects - Experienced welders learn to recognise these through years of training.
The questions, information and welding knowledge we've built as a welding education business are used to inform our AI model.
When you join our online course, you can access this knowledge through a simple, user-friendly chat bot. Ask questions, upload photos of your welds and get feedback — giving you support at home to help you practise, improve and keep learning.
