Take a welding course

If you feel interested in being able to weld, a welding course with tutoring is an excellent first step. With incipient welding skills, you expand your palette in creating, building and modifying most parts of metal.

The most popular welding methods for hobby use are MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding. In addition, there are welding machines that can both these methods for both professionals and amateurs. Then you can weld in many different types of metal objects, from button pin to coarse sheet metal and beam.

The advantage of the welding courses you see here is that you can choose whether you want to bring the welding you already have to learn it or any of the welding machines available in the practice room.

Welding course in small groups

In the welding courses held in Mullsjö and Lindesberg, you can participate in small groups of 2-4 people in Lindesberg and 1-2 people in Mullsjö. This gives you plenty of time to reason with supervisors and ask questions. You will get an introduction starting in basal welding physics and will be supervised with welding exercises in steel or aluminium depending on the focus of the course. You will learn about welding machines, adjust on different settings to see the difference and different ways to use the welding machine in a varied way. You will also be aware of how to protect yourself and the place you weld.

Welding courses for beginners or as “refresh”

Courses are available both as beginner courses and intermediate courses. They are great if you want to learn welding for hobby use or to get a start in doing easier repair work at a workplace. You may have welded when you were in high school but not since. Or you may not have welded at all before and then the “step 1” courses fit well.

The purpose and goal of joining a welding course can be very different. One reason, of course, is that you want to build, repair or modify your own project. But with a welding course you can also get into another track that leads away from monitors and media to creative time in creation. Metal such as steel is a truly interesting material, which when you work with it, makes you completely enchanted. Steel, which is our most common metal in constructions of various kinds, is a very exciting material to work with.

Does your welding machine work?

With a course you will also better understand yourself on welding machines. During a course we go through the weld’s various controls and parameters and with the exercises during the day you get a good idea of how a welding machine feels and works.

Some course participants attend a course to better be able to choose a welding machine that fits. Other participants may already have a welding machine, old or modern, or you have just bought a welding machine. Then the course will alert you to whether the welding machine works well without deviations.

Most hobby welding machines are used to a lesser extent and perhaps not so frequent. Then it can be difficult to determine which deviations in the welding result are due to incorrect settings or abnormal function in the welding machine.

The development curve for welding crafts

If you learn to weld completely on your own, it often takes quite a while to learn to see the important details. You may not know what to focus on and look for. For example, the arc is initially perceived with its flow of electrons only as a kind of light and heat source. It is not very obvious that there are small nuances in the light that are important details in telling you how it goes.

A theory base to connect the impressions to

Every craft has a development curve. Welding has its development curve and on a course you get a start where welding physics leads you to a reasoning. It’s not to make it complicated, but to make you have a red thread to follow and trust. For example, most people have a relationship with thunderstorms and electricity. It is also a parallel explanatory part of welding physics to mentally take in what happens when electrons move through a gas. Most of the course’s theory is based on parallel connections to other known phenomena in order to make the theory easy to grasp.

Your mental focus

A course is based on gaining knowledge of “what” is interesting to look for. To put it in a context where welding physics is a base and get to experience when it happens. It creates your red thread that you can “consult” as you practice further on your own. It is a key component in building on your logical reasoning. To develop in welding, you need more time with the burner handle in your hand, in the same way that practice driving by car provides better driving. With a course you get a basic platform to be able to draw your own conclusions and develop further on your own.

You become aware in your exercises that there is quite a lot to look at. Both before, during and after a welding session. During a course day, we want you to see and detect symptoms and details that can tell you about appropriate corrections in everything from the preparation of the metal, the welding machine’s settings to the practical handset.

Never be utterly disrespectful
