Paul Dobson reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"I attended the MIG welding course for beginners yesterday. I found the whole experience to be exceptional. Tony, the instructor was fully organised and knew what he had to do. The classroom was fully prepared with first class equipment, a huge supply of practice work pieces and an ideal environment in which to learn. Tony, has exceptional experience with an ability to teach and an inexhaustible enthusiasm and patience to match. I learnt more in four and a half hours than you can imagine. If points were to be awarded it would be 10 out of 10 in every category."

Scott Dermott reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"I had an absolutely fantastic day learning to weld with Tony. Plenty of hands on welding with constructive feedback throughout the course. I mostly learn from YouTube, but having a chilled, 1:1 environment like this meant I went from total beginner to respectable hobbyist in a matter of hours. Thanks Tony!"

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Hi Scott, great you enjoyed the welding course. You improved from start to finish. Continue to practice at your garage and remember the basics. If you do require any further advice or assistance please feel free to get in contact. Regards Tony "

Richard Harry reviewed: Mig Welding For Beginners Introductory Day Course.

"Had a brilliant day doing the introduction to Mig welding course with Tony. Having never done welding before I didn’t know quite what to expect, but Tony went through all the safety aspects first, explained the machine/tools, did a quick welding demo and then over to me for the rest of the day! I tackled a whole range of different types of welding angles and different steel configurations. Tony is an excellent instructor he is an ex college instructor and also work in the welding and fabrication industry for thirty years which shows. I came away having had my expectations exceeded having had a thoroughly enjoyable day learning a skill that I intend to keep working on. I caught the welding bug! I don’t think you will be disappointed doing this course."

Newport Wrought Ironwork responded:

"Hi Richard, I am so happy you enjoyed the welding course. With the new skill you learned on the course and more practice you will be creating all sorts of different things. If you require any further assistance please feel free to contact me. Regards Tony "
