Our ‘Welding Taster Evenings’ run on the last Wednesday of each month, giving aspiring welders the chance to step into the world of welding for two and half hours from 6pm to 8.30pm.
This is your opportunity to see through the eyes of an experienced welder and gain a real sense of what this rewarding skill can bring to a career, hobby or retirement.
This taster evening is ideal if you are:
- A school leaver considering welding as a career.
- Someone thinking about a career change into welding full time.
- Curious about welding and want to explore the different processes.
- Interested in welding as a hobby or a personal/retirement project.
- Friends wanting to do that project they have been talking about for so long and just need some direction.
During the evening, you’ll discover the differences and uses of TIG and MIG welding, see how repair work is carried out on different materials and gain insight into welding equipment including how it works, what different settings do and how understanding your tools can make all the difference in achieving strong and clean welds.
You’ll enjoy a relaxed but informative evening that covers:
- Live demonstrations of TIG & MIG welding techniques.
- An introduction to different welding joints such as pipe welding, butt welds, and t-fillets with explanations of their strengths and uses.
- How welding equipment works, including the impact of different settings and materials on weld quality.
- The “must-know” health and safety essentials every welder should understand.
- An overview of the career and hobby opportunities welding can open up.
THIS TASTER EVENING IS OBSERVATIONAL ONLY.
While you won’t be welding yourself, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to watch closely through a mask, handle real materials, see welds up close, and ask as many questions as you like.
