An absolute must for beginners and experienced welders alike. I have been welding for 15 years. Three weeks with the academy has opened my eyes and broadened my horizons and obliterated my assumed good habits making me a more confident and aspiring welder. To see the teachers perform was awe inspiring, humbling and an absolute blast.

Cant praise this place enough.

Good facilities and equipment, friendly knowledgeable tutors, lots of one on one tutor time and lots of value for money. Would definitely recommend, thanks!

I started the welding academy with no experience and no knowledge of welding. 3 weeks later I have managed to pass my BS4872 coding and have been able to pass the Ifor Williams weld test in order to start working as a welder from Monday. Great tutors who are very helpful and experienced. Would highly recommend the welding academy to anyone, experienced in welding or not.

Owe Neil and Dave a huge thanks for the hours they’ve put into this place. Wouldn’t be where I am today without getting in the welding academy and picking the rods up.

Would recommend the academy to anyone looking to start a career in the welding game or brush up on their skills!
