Cheers for the info! Yes, other places may well be cheaper but this'll be very close to work (local college) so no additional time/distance to think about.
I'm a 'techie' teacher at a Fife secondary and teach N4/5 Practical Metalwork; the school had said that they'd pay for it if I did the MIG......My boss. ...said that if I wanted to do the TIG then I couldn't expect the school to pay so I said I'd pay for it myself;......
I wondered if it was local, (Glenrothes) that was driving the choice.
The normal process is a theory (covering all processes) on the first night, then 7-8 weeks on your chosen process, then whatever time is left after your test welds, you can get an introduction to something else, or something of your own.
So if you did mig (for free?), for the last few weeks you could do tig, then follow up with another course on tig (pay) when you already have a good start, then at the end, perhaps do some aluminium or something else extending the tig experience
Just a thought...
We are over near Bathgate btw, just bought the parweld xtt202p ac/DC tig (already have a Portamig 215 mig)
