Get a solid foundation in TIG welding, starting from the very basics. You’ll learn how TIG welding works, the difference between welding techniques, and how to read and understand welds. This section is designed to help you build confidence with the torch in your hand, even if you’ve never welded before. By the end of this stage, you’ll know how to approach a weld and why TIG welding is one of the most precise and versatile methods in the industry.

Before any sparks fly, you need to know your tools. This section focuses on how to correctly set up your welding machine, understand its settings, and prepare your workspace. You’ll also cover essential safety practices—from protective gear to the right environment—so that you can weld with confidence while keeping yourself and others safe. A solid understanding of machine setup ensures that you’re ready for any welding project, big or small.

This is where Shaun’s 20+ years of professional experience really shine through. Learn the insider techniques that separate a good weld from a great weld, including torch control, filler rod handling, and how to achieve consistent, clean welds. Sean will also share troubleshooting methods to help you spot mistakes early and correct them before they become habits, giving you a massive head start in your welding journey.

Nothing beats learning by doing. In this practical section, you’ll apply everything you’ve learned under Shaun’s guidance. You’ll practice running beads, joining metals, and improving your technique on real projects in a supportive, small-group environment. This session is designed to help you leave with not just knowledge, but the muscle memory and confidence to continue welding on your own.

In the final part of the workshop, you’ll showcase the project you’ve been working on and see how far you’ve come in just a few hours. Sean will provide personalised feedback on your technique, celebrate your progress, and give you practical advice on how to keep improving. You’ll also receive a Certificate of Attendance to recognise your achievement. To finish, Sean will guide you through possible next steps—whether you want to keep welding as a hobby, take on more advanced workshops, or start building a pathway into welding as a trade.
