Our range of leisure and hobby courses keeps growing, with even more fun and exciting courses starting throughout 2025.
Level 1
Welding – LASER Level 1 Award
COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is predominantly designed for someone starting out in welding as a hobby.
Their are three main disciplines Manual Metal Arc (MMA), Metal Inert Gas (MIG) and Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG), and from these processes you can select an option to suit your requirements.
The units in the nationally recognised LASER Awards are delivered as ‘stand-alone’; modules. Each discipline is taught over 10 weeks for 3 hours per session.
FURTHER INFORMATION
There are no formal entry requirements but you will need a keen interest in developing their welding skills.
Upon successful completion of the level 1 qualification, you can enrol onto a level 2 in the same welding process or a level 1 for another welding process.
Typically you will produce four weld test pieces that are visually inspected, as well as a small portfolio that is also to be completed by the end of the course.
You need to supply flame retardant overalls and safety footwear, a lot of people studying the course also like to supply their own welding helmet but do not worry if you don’t have one as all other PPE is supplied by us.
