This course is perfect if you already have some welding experience and would like to take it further.

Maybe you have a MIG or Stick welder at home and have had some fun using it, you’ve had some welding experience on MIG or Stick and have always wanted to have a go at TIG.

Many people who have some welding exposure have seen the colourful rainbow of a TIG weld and been enticed. The neat ripples often lure people into what is considered by many the pinnacle of the welding methods and this course will use those key skills found on other welding methods and help you apply them to TIG.
