Stephen Jones reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"I received a warm welcome from Tony when I arrived and we got straight into the basics of Mig welding. I was shown how the Mig I was using was set up and best ways to hold the torch correctly . We had a good chat about best technique to use whilst having a go at welding . Plenty of different joints in different positions which kept me busy and the time flew bye. Overall a very enjoyable experience and one I can highly recommend. Thank you Tony for a great. day ."

Mark Cook reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"I've done a few of these trade courses over the years but don't recall doing one where I felt I accomplished as much in a single day as I did here. Tony clearly knows his subject inside out but as an ex-college lecturer also knows how to present the material in a fun and interesting manner that even those of us who are not naturally practical can learn from. It's an intensive, wholly hands-on day and aside from a brief lunch break I was welding for the entire duration from the moment I arrived. But at the end I came out with skills that I never dreamed I would ever have. Amazing to thing that in the course of a single day you can go from complete novice to a confident welder and while I still have much to learn and consolidate, I now feel equipped to tackle a number of projects that I would never have considered before. Thank you Tony for all your help and for making this such a fun and rewarding day."

Please feel free to contact me if you need any help or advice in the future. Regards Tony "

Claire M reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an absolute pleasure this course is . As an absolute beginner Tony was an excellent tutor! Patient and calm. He gives you time to realise any mistakes before stepping in. He explains everything so well, it's makes every step almost simple. He gives just the right amount of confidence, but not so much that you start to run before you can walk. Felt like I did LOADS of welding and practice in the time I was there. The difference in my welds from start to finish is massive! A bit more practice and I'll be starting my first project! Thanks, Tony! I thoroughly enjoyed myself."
