This introduction to welding course will equip first time welders with the fundamental knowledge and skills to weld.

It is a blend of practical and theoretical training and will provide information on the most commonly used welding processes. (MIG/MAG, MMA and TIG)

TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld, while an inert gas, typically argon or helium, shields the weld area from contamination. This process allows for precise, high-quality welds on a variety of metals, including thin materials, and often requires a filler material fed manually into the weld pool.

This course is perfect if you are a complete beginner or have limited welding knowledge and want to learn a new skill.
