Paul and Imogen reviewed: One day welding course for two people

"Myself and my wife travelled down from Scotland for this course. Julian is a fantastic teacher and person, his warmth and enthusiasm is infectious. He really took his time to explain to us the theory that underpinned mig welding followed by loads of hands on learning. Felt like we learned so much in one day and came away feeling confident we could have a go at doing some repairs on our old van. Julian also took the time to instruct us on getting our own welder set up that we brought along with us which was really invaluable. Would highly recommend doing a course with Julian. Thank you for a great day. "

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Hi Paul and Imogen, it was a great day and you both got to grips with the welding process. I know you will be able to tackle the van. Keep the fusion good and enjoy,all the best, regards, Julian"

Dave reviewed: One day welding course for two people

"Two of us attended this one day course, a friend who'd done a small amount of welding with not very satisfactory results and me a complete novice. Brilliant day, Julian is a very knowledgeable chap and he spent a long time with us well over the the allotted time. Lots of hands on practice as well as coaching. We feel confident to now go on and practice further as well as starting repairs/fabrication with our own kit. Can't recommend this highly enough to anyone wanting to get started with welding."

Eren. O reviewed: One day welding course: an introduction

"Great value for money course and a great teacher. Was willing to work with me and make the course relevant to my needs and desire to do welding work on my van. Highly knowledgeable and very experienced. Went out of the way to show me what to do and did not rush the learning - but also did not hold back on pushing me to do better either - best of both worlds. I'd genuinely recommend this course to anyone looking to learn welding. Probably would get more hands on experience doing this than a "Pro Welding" Course. Thank you for your support and I look forward to the future. "

Julian Wadsworth - Artist Blacksmith responded:

"Thank you Eren for your great review. I am really happy to know the course has worked for you. It's no problem if you need to get in touch about the welding or machinery , or come back for another session sometime. It was a pleasure to meet you and give you this training. Best Regards, Julian"
