As the new academic year is almost upon us, the colleges ar soon to be starting up the evening courses in september.
Trying to decide which course to do. All of them are roughly 2.5 to 3 hours per week, over 12 weeks.
#1:
An introduction to a range of welding processes to match the requirements of the class. Skills can be acquired or developed in MIG (Metal Inert Gas), TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas), Manual Metal Arc (MMA) and Oxy-Acetylene Welding; Brazing and Braze Welding.
#2:
This course covers safe use and operation of oxy-acetylene welding, arc welding and brazing techniques. This is followed by MIG welding and resistance spot welding.
#3:
A National Certificate which offers an introduction to the theory and practice of the TIG welding process, allowing you to learn safely and effectively. The course will use the latest, state of the art, Lincoln Electric equipment.
#4:
You will learn MIG welding to a practical and competent level and have an opportunity to test for the National Certificate unit if desired. The course will use the latest, state of the art, Lincoln Electric equipment
#3 and #4 from same college.
Obviously #1 and #2 will be less in depth because of the range of different welding. Tho the first suggests you can spend more on your preferred way.
#3 has a 2nd advanced tig course that follows on.
I am mostly doing mig welding (or trying to ) on my manta.
Tho I wouldn't mind a TIG.
Would MIG become a lot easier if I knew TIG?
