I been welding for years at home and work but not got a thing to back it up, And I need to look for a job sitting!! so thing tig welding job may be the way to go, and I only live 1/2mile form West Sussex - Chichester College They do A range of welding courses including OCN MIG level 1 & 2, TIG and MMA. It last for 10 weeks.,,, So would a LEVEL 1 LASER AWARD IN WELDING COURSE be a good start or a waste of money!?!
