Sounds like a bloody good idea! Work wanted me to do a welding course as well... to make it easier to sell welders. Will see if they are keen to pay half :P .

Give UCOL a call, get them to send you an enrolment pack, or do it via the website. It just says to register before the course start date.

Very good course. Did it a couple years back. Goes through all the techniques, and pretty much all practical. The tutors are dam knowledgeable guys too. The last few session you have a chance to go hard to the technique you prefer. Also you can sit ya ticket (as an extra) if you want to at the same time.

The most important thing you learn when going to a course like that, is if you can weld witha shit welder, you will be able to weld easily with anything they have there. The equipment they have is soooooo easy to setup and no more bird poo rubbsih with the right gear.

Need FULL cotton overalls and leather gloves and helmet. They will provide helmet to suit technique and gloves on loan basis.

Call me for overall/gloves goodness :wink:

Pity I haven't got $456.10 otherwise I'd be in, would make buying rusty cars way more feasible.
