A first-class sheet welder by trade, Darryl has been welding for nearly 40 years. Throughout his career, he has worked with many young apprentices, helping them develop their skills for a professional setting. Now, Darryl is keen to share his knowledge with hobbyists and artists alike! With an emphasis on safely, Darryl is here to make sure that students are armed with the knowledge and confidence to take on a variety of at-home welding projects.

MIG inverter machines are now available to the novice welder more than ever before. New inverter technology has made the machines lighter, smaller, cheaper, and provides a more stable arc, making them easier to use. So home welding is affordable again, and Darryl is here to show you how it's done!

Theresa Turner • Jun 2022

I really enjoyed my morning learning how to weld. Darryl is a great teacher. He gave excellent explanations, step by step demonstrations, and was attentive to each and every one of us when it was our turn to have a go. We got heaps of time to weld, and as well as being honest about our work, Darryl was very encouraging. A positive experience - I'll be back for the next course.

Jeffery Lillington • Jun 2022

The class was very informative the time went so quickly, Darryl our teacher was fantastic. For a short time he fitted a lot in. I would highly recommend his class.

Andrew Carroll • Jun 2022

Course was great. Darryl knew his stuff and was clear with instructions. The 3 hours flew by and before we knew it we had finished! Course left me with enough confidence to buy a welder, practice and have a go at those odd jobs that need doing with confidence. Gear supplied to practice with was good and learnt how to operate different machines.

Warren Chan • Jun 2022

Darryl is a very funny guy and
The venue located at a very quiet and easy to find area.
The equipments that the class provided are up to date and very easy to use. Also the experience is good value for money. I learnt a basic welding skills and the knowledge about different welding machines and equipments.
Thanks again to our tutor Darryl!

Dennis Lai • Jun 2022

the class is located in a yard outdoor behind an old workshop so on days where it is raining or is very cold it may not be as comfortable but lucky for us we had a sunny day although it was a bit windy and cold. they offer bathroom facilities and tap water. I suggest bringing your own drink if you are not happy with tap water. the location was quite easy to get to but parking can be a bit scarce.

our instructor Daryl was very friendly and helpful. you can tell he is very skilled and knows his stuff. there was 3 sit down sessions which total to about an hour of sit down lesson and the rest on practical. there is no desks for the sit down sessions and the chairs are simple black fold out metal types with very thin padding so if you have back issues please be aware.

The welding station are setup on plastic fold out tables and there is 2 stations per table. as there are not enough welding machines you get to partner with someone and take turns welding. one of the biggest issues with this setup is when people from the other staton moves it would shake both the welding stations so it is hard to weld in a straight line when the table is moving. During the actual welding Daryl walked between the groups and offer tips and look at what we are doing and inspected our work. overall I am very happy with the class.

John Pryor • Jun 2022

Darryl was fantastic. The course venue could have been a bit better but overall I learned a lot and can't wait for the next course. Thankyou to everyone for making the day great.

Mal Kashro • Jun 2022

Teacher was very good.
Totally enjoyed the day and was good value for money. Could have been longer.

Neil Blake • Jun 2022

Good basic instruction and lots of hands-on practice. The class was a great introduction to welding.

Stephen Doble • May 2022

Darryl was a great teacher. It's a hands on course, you'll be having a go using the welder not long after the course starts. Good for people like me who didn't know where to begin. The venue is a little rough and ready but everything worked just fine.

Jenny Johnstone • May 2022

Great introduction to welding, very enjoyable. I felt like I learned enough to pick it up and continue at home. Thank you

George Mavros • May 2022

Darrel was excellent in the way he conducted the class He was informative and yet still casual and informal in his approach. This put everyone at ease right from the start.

I came away having learnt and more importantly proven to myself that I can weld at a sufficient standard for the jobs around the house that I want to take on.

I did the course with my son and we both enjoyed the experience and the fact that we could do it together.

Mark Katrakis • May 2022

Great course, covering all the basics. Darryl was very experienced, knowledgeable and kept the content interesting. Time went really quickly which is always a good sign as I was fully engaged for the 3 hours. Would recommend it for anyone looking to get an understanding of welding for recreational use.

James Lawless • May 2022

This is a great introduction to welding.
We were shown how to do basic welds and were given advice on what kind of equipment to buy if we want to do some welding at home.
It was great to get hands-on experience, but if you want to do good welds (ie not ones that look like a dog's breakfast) you do probably need to practice a bit!

Jack McGinn • May 2022

Adam Biviano • Apr 2022

Fantastic introduction to welding. Looking forward to the next class. Thank you for a amazing day.

Geoff Braid • Apr 2022

Darry was a very good and experienced teacher. He showed patience when two class members turned up late, which I thought was great.
No issues with the tools or location.We needed more explanation on the tip distance with MIG welding and what to look for under eye shading. This takes a lot of practise.
However, I would give the class 9/10.
The class made me want to do better with welding.

Rod Cunich • Apr 2022

Suitable size class allowing teacher time to spend with each student. Instruction was clear, understandable and often delivered with humour. The teacher made the experience a joy.

Rachel D'Arcy • Apr 2022

Just had the greatest time here with my daughter, Daryl was incredibly encouraging and patient. He taught us the basic skills within just three hours and I would gladly sign up for this course again!

I had a very good time at this welding class, not just a lot explanations, but a lot of actual welding metal. Darryl, out teacher, came with a lot of experience as a working welder on job sites and his instructions where safe and easy to follow.
We got the very basics done in a three hour class, and we can take it from there.

The teacher was great, awesome knowledge and experience, letting us learn from experience and motivation.

Thank you Darryl for a fantastic workshop.
This is a perfect workshop for someone that’s never welded before and wants to learn some basic skills to complete a project. Everything is provided just need to make sure you wear the correct clothing. Bring plenty of water if you are doing it in summer as the class room is outside under shade.

Amy Gilmore • Dec 2021

A fascinating class with a very talented and entertaining teacher who knows his stuff. Highly recommended.

Deborah Grant • Dec 2021

Darrel communicated a good basic knowledge of MIC welding to us. The space was great to work in with plenty of room. I’m really grateful to be able to have had this opportunity to attend a welding lesson without having to sign up to a longer welding course.

I would attend further welding developing lessons with classbento if they are offered.

Thank you

Darryl was a great teacher, we got to try a lot of different welding techniques, was definitely more of an art to making the welds look as good as his!

Was a great intro, 3hrs doesn't seem like much but it was plenty to get you started, doing basic welds and a good taster for trying out more.

Jake James • Dec 2021

Great introduction to welding. The instructor, Darryl was brilliant! Made it fun and super easy to learn a new skill. Highly recommend

Helen Leahy • Dec 2021

This was a good introductory class on welding. Darryl was helpful and made the class interesting. I think 3 hours was too short as I was just getting the hang of it by then. I took this class to see if I would like welding and then continue on to make sculptures. I'm still not sure if I would be any good so the only improvement would be if a second class was added to give a bit more practice and instruction.
Worth it though!

Thierry Lacoste • Dec 2021

Good introductory course, well organised, friendly and efficient.
Darryl, the teacher, explained well and demonstrate first how to do it, then the students (8 in total) replicate the exercise in group of 2.

Metalwork workshop review by Thierry Lacoste

Margaret O'Riordan • Dec 2021

Great teacher but disappointed with the visor. I couldn't see the work as I was welding which limited the experience.

Warren Cartledge • Dec 2021

A very easy to understand instructor who explained things in simple layman terms.
All the safety aspects were explained in practical - home handy man - language.
We had plenty of time to try sticking bits of metal together, and by the end of the three hours we were all able to "weld"
The instructor was very patient and understanding considering the level of trainee prior knowledge.
I would recommend this class to anyone who ever wanted to try welding but was to timid to try. Thanks Darryl

Ivan Signorelli • Dec 2021

Had a great course, learned way more than I was expecting. Darryl was a great teacher. He looks the part, was very knowledgeable and supportive.

Tony Button • Dec 2021

Darryl is great. Very knowledgeable and he could obviously take any advanced class as well, but he makes beginners relaxed and willing to have a try. This was my first experience welding and was a lot of fun and if he does another extension class I will definitely be booking.

Mufid Noufal • Dec 2021

It was great, very good teacher. Knowledge and friendly, Learned a lot. Thank you.

Hi I'm Glenn Croft. I did the welding course for beginners. Darryl the instructor was great he explained things so you understood what he said. The venue was a bit rough as they are moving to new premises it was OK. Some of the welding helmets were rough but they did the job. The course was worth the money and I learned a lot.

Jeffrey Lee • Nov 2021

A very fun and productive afternoon learning the basics of welding with Darryl.
Good balance of safety and getting stuff done.
Learned how to lay down metal, butt join and fillet join.
A great starter for someone looking to give welding a go or maybe for someone who is not sure about their career and want to try something different.
10/10

Welding Workshop for Beginners review by Jeffrey Lee

Michael • Nov 2021

Teacher did a fantastic job, getting us straight into welding, with minimal fuss and only the most necessary briefing. He had a friendly and humorous manner which made us newbies feel comfortable. If i was to offer a suggestion it would be to have one welder per person as most of us were sharing, and the 3 hours went very quickly. Incidentally, the one person who had a welder to themselves had arrived late and got the bonus solo welder! That said, it was well worth it and i feel inspired to learn more about this craft.

Eva Wu • Nov 2021

The instructor was great - very knowledgeable, fun, great teacher, kept us safe, we learnt a lot. Thank you

Stacey Cail • Nov 2021

Darryl was a great teacher- informative, funny and put you at ease with the task.

Robin Blacklow • Nov 2021

Darryl was an excellent teacher who explained everything fully. The layout of the space was not as conducive to the course as it could be (students too close to one another, so helmets went dark).
Plenty of equipment to go around.
Learned the basics of non-gas (mig) welding.
It was 1:00 before we knew it.

Roderick Gelder • Nov 2021

Great set-up with a lot of fresh air, good for both welding fumes and a benefit in times of COVID.
Daryl was great as a teacher and the class was well planned.
Learned a lot in a few hours, great value for money!

Had a great time trying some welding. The teacher was excellent, explained things well and was very approachable and encouraging. It made it comfortable and easy to try something I've never done before. A good sized group paired up on welders, good supplies and help when you needed it. I felt well looked after and guided in improving my new skills.

Grace Corcoran • Jun 2021

He is kind and patient. He is knowledgeable and leading us to understanding the complicated welding easily. I enjoy it znd hope there is a follow-up class soon.

Clive Mackay • Jun 2021

Hi
Darryl was great in presenting information and ideas limiting it to basic terminology with no Jargon terms, meaning anyone could understand.
Getting around the class seeing how everything is going, would be tough, but he seemed to be there when things didn’t look right, to correct as required. This workshop was relaxed as nothing seemed pressured and the whole group was focused and quiet.
This was great for first time welders class giving oversight of; welding machine, tools and techniques.
There was even time for a little creativity using off cuts to create your own interpretive sculpture.
Good to see most keen to come to a more advanced class to learn more.
Great indicator for a great Teacher.
Thanks Darryl

The class was an excellent introduction to safety and plenty of practise.

I really enjoyed my time in the class with a fantastic and encouraging teacher

The Intro to Welding was an excellent class. The teacher was very friendly, helpful, gave lots of tips and info, plus a whole load of stories from working as a welder.
There was plenty of hands on time, with lots of information; from safety, to tips on improving, and what to look for if you want to buy your own equipment.
If you love making things, and are thinking about metal-work, take this class! Its an excellent intro. 100% recommended.

Miriam Ross • May 2021

Great class. Learnt what i needed. Clear instructions. Charming teacher. Would go again. Highly recommended.

Very relaxed atmosphere. Makes learning easy.
Nothing or any questions was too much trouble during the class

Paul Hopkins • May 2021

Was a great intro to welding - Daryl explained things very well and gave us the confidence to have a go.

Welding Workshop for Beginners review by Paul Hopkins Sydney

Alan Peterson • May 2021

Very personable and helpful instructor. Work area was a bit cramped and the shared tables rather wobbly (messed up my neighbour's weld while trying to pry my piece off the table).

Dan Vaz • May 2021

Lots of hands on which helps to be confident with welding.
Only issue was the helmet as it was a broken one. Maybe a few spares would help.

Paul Reynolds • May 2021

Very practical introduction to gasless MIG welding. Darryl is a very experienced welder and great teacher. This is a great opportunity to learn the fundamentals of joining pieces of metal together.

Lynton Dickens • Apr 2021

Darryl was engaging and knowledgeable. His encouraging style and attention worked very well. The small class size meaning we had a welder each also made a huge difference

Helen Benham • Apr 2021

Had a great time, learnt a lot from Darryl who was very helpful. Safety was covered fully. Looking forward to a course for the next level.

Venue good a bid crowded materials and kit all up to standard
I loved it I hope you can develop further courses to help me develop my knowledge

Simon Wilde • Apr 2021

Great class. Teacher was down to earth, friendly and informative. Learnt how to use a mig welder. Ready to buy my own gear for use at home

Makoto Hosoya • Apr 2021

It was a great hands-on introduction to welding. I always wanted to do welding for some repair jobs around and I also knew a welding machine became very affordable these days BUT I was clueless about how to start with it. Thanks to this workshop, I've got some basic idea of it and I can go on to practice and experiment by myself now.
Thank you very much Darryl. And, I'll definitely attend a follow up workshop if you are organising one in future.

Caitlin Preston • Apr 2021

I really loved this class! Darryl was a wonderful teacher, and I liked the focus on hands-on creation. By the end of the class I had improved my skills and had a lot of fun! Highly recommend.

Kylie Barber • Apr 2021

Fantastic introduction to welding with a very knowledgeable and approachable tutor. Materials are all supplied. The class size is a nice and small which ensures you get as much time to practice welding as possible. Definitely recommend.

Darryl is an absolute ledgend, a true craftsman and great teacher. He made the whole experience really enjoyable. Would highly recommend this class, as it's a really useful skill to have and a good time.

Metalwork workshop review by Felix Lee Sydney

Alex Rolfe • Apr 2021

Daryl is a superb teacher. It a somewhat intimidating thing being a office worker and stepping into a welding environment. Daryl brilliantly handled it, so much so that within ten mins we were on the tools and building confidence rapidly. I’d definitely do it again, and if an intermediate session is set up I’ll sign up for sure

Louise Crawshaw • Apr 2021

Fantastic class. Great pace, great teacher and nice size class. Looking forward to having a go and welding, after this class feeling confident!

Malcolm Davison • Apr 2021

Darryl is a natural teacher, good structure and great experience in the art of welding.
I would happily recommend this course to anyone who is wanting to start welding. Good hands on course.

Daniel Williams • Apr 2021

Daryl was a legend! A lotta fun, learnt a lot very quickly. Would defos recommend

Peter Miller • Apr 2021

Great intro to welding our teacher (Darryl) was both knowledgeable and patience. Equipment was of good quality and we had time to discuss the different types and usage. The class size of 9 was ideal allowing the teacher time to discuss our work and make corrections. No issues with materials or instructions. I just wish there were further courses available

Michael Derrett • Apr 2021

Teacher excellent, venue eclectic but worked well, equipment and materials all really good. Everyone had a good time and learnt lots

George Prountzos • Apr 2021

I found it was value for money as I just wanted an orientation to welding.
Would have liked to try stick welding just to compare.
The trainer was very knowledgeable but I felt he was not prepared in his delivery.
The amenedties were below the standard I expected and felt unprofessional.
Unfortunately, the work bench was not secured to the wall so we and the team next to us had to deal with the workspace wobbling while we tried to weld in a straight line. I found the mask would react to the welding next door as they were so close.
The equipment and materials were acceptable for beginners.
The trainer was helpful during the practice sessions.

Kim Gomes • Apr 2021

very polite and attentive teacher, and understands that hands on is better learning, thank you so much!

Doug Cardew • Apr 2021

Last week I did a quick search on welding courses and this one popped up with one spot left - I figured all I needed right now was the 3 hrs intro and $110 is the right price. Was the perfect intro course and I got just what I needed right now. Darryl was great at getting us right into it and obviously loves what he does. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a little taste of welding without much effort.
Many thanks
Doug

Richard Kennedy • Apr 2021

great introduction to welding - feel confident in pursuing it. now i REALLY want a class in fabrication, specifically grinding and cutting. than you

David McCarthy • Apr 2021

This was a very useful class to give me the basics of gasless welding. From essentially zero practical knowledge I am now confident enough to wield a welder and practice at home to improve my skills. Daryl was a cheerful and informative teacher with a wealth of knowledge that he was very willing to impart. I'd recommend this course to anyone who wishes to learn the rudiments of the craft.

Tom Pom • Apr 2021

Plenty of advice and time on the welder. Reccomended.

Gary Sheppard • Apr 2021

Thoroughly recommended!
The instructor Daryl was both knowledgeable and personable.
He took the fear and unknown out of welding by giving a great basic introduction to the art.
It's all very well to look at welding videos on youtube but there's no substitute for having someone explain the basics in person and guide you though your initial welds.
I now am confident that I can purchase a small welder and pursue welding for my modest needs.
Whereas I would never have taken that step without this class.
Thankyou!

Chris Hickey • Apr 2021

The teacher Darryl, was very experienced and pitched all his information for the correct group. We were all new to welding so was explained at a basic level. Explained, demonstrated and then progressively practised

Materials were provided which was great. All safety gear as well.

The venue used was a little tight for the ten students in the class. A larger work area would be better.

Overall a great day.

Wesley Talanoa • Apr 2021

Great day.
Darryl was good easy to understand and
Lots of information.
Overall would recommend it
Thank you

Philip Barnes • Apr 2021

Well pitched for beginners basics well covered equipment adequate venue fine although hard to see some demonstrations with a big group

Emmanuel Flores • Apr 2021

The class was really interesting and the instructor was extremely helpful and informative. We had an issue with one of the welders at the beginning of the class but he kept his composure and continued with the class. Well worth the money with plenty of practical work. Can’t wait for their new ‘upcoming welding classes.

Gregory Wynne • Mar 2021

Thanks Daryl - great class and great help - I really enjoyed it. Teacher answered all my questions no matter how silly the question was! Liked the hands on aspect and the get in and giver it a go!

This was a great way to spend 3 hours on a Sunday. Laurie was a fine teacher, obviously very experienced and had the knack of sharing his knowledge and making the tasking easy and enjoyable. I will be keen to hear of more extended and follow up courses.

Francis Davis • Mar 2021

Loved the beginners welding class on 21 March 2021. Teacher took the time to provided one on one guidance, training, and suggestions to improve welding skills with each student. Now, I can't wait to get my own welder and steel to start creating things.

Metalwork workshop review by Francis Davis

Brendan Fitzpatrick • Mar 2021

Darryl provided an excellent introductory class. Safety and the basics were covered then it was straight into hands-on activities and learning by doing. Darryl was knowledgeable and took time to answer all the questions put to him. I look forward to putting my newly acquired skills into action.

Darryl was very supportive and provided really good guidance, while being super open to questions.

Jeremy Lawrance • Feb 2021

It was a lot of fun with a small class and so everyone had hands on experience. The MIG machines that are used are only good for hobby or art work. It would be nice to have a follow up course with rod type arc welding.

Welding Workshop for Beginners review by Jeremy Lawrance

Anthony Cooper • Feb 2021

Really enjoyed this class. Having come in a complete novice, I really felt like I was getting there by the end of the class.

Gary Dingley • Feb 2021

Overall i liked the class. i am a beginner welder and i learnt some good basics. i am more confident now to go and buy a welder and start using the tool. i realise i still have a lot to learn and i would consider doing another course if it teaches me more and builds on what we have already covered. . if there was one thing i would do differently, it would perhaps be a bit of briefing at the start for 10 mins about the different type of welders in the market and for the mig welder how the unit is set up and works. Our welder for my son and I ran out of wire and could not work. we ended up sharing with another table. it would be good to get a quick overview of how the machine works, any tips for set up and maintenance and then proceed to the class to test and learn to do good welds. lastly, perhaps have a back up machine available if there is a problem on the day. i would be happy to recommend the course and do another course in the future. thank you.

Nicole Robins • Feb 2021

Excellent tutor - Stuart was very professional, great explanations and very positive feedback. It was a great introduction to the world of welding - which I knew nothing about. Like any skill it takes a lot of practice. I was wondering about whether welding could be of use in my fibre art. Cheers Nicole

Garrick Palmer • Feb 2021

Friendly, relaxed teacher who was knowlegable and happy to answer any questions. Venue was clise to transport and easy for anyone to get to. Macines all worked well. Materials were perfectly adequate without being wasteful.
Think price was fair considering teacher and venue time, materials, consumables and equipment. Came out happy with result and cost.

Max Hague • Jan 2021

class was good value for money. The class was quick to move into the practical component so plenty of time spent gaining hands on experience.

Kel Durney • Jan 2021

Teacher was down to earth, not too much talking and the straight into practical demonstration. Then the next 2.75 hours was all hands on welding. The teacher was there to give assistance and field questions. A great three hours. Thoroughly recommend this for clueless beginners like me!

Michael Williams • Jan 2021

Great introduction to welding from an experienced teacher. Good balance of theory and hands on welding. The highlight was Peter the teacher.

Olivia Hopkinson • Jan 2021

The teacher was amazing really easy going and helpful. Really good for begginers as an introduction. I only wish there were more courses to extend the learning because it was so good

Yael Cohen • Nov 2020

Really good intro class. Peter was a very good teacher and the venue was great. Good value.

Craig Davis • Nov 2020

The practical side of this class was a highlight, plenty of time spent on the welding machines.
The teacher was great in rotating through the participants providing information and tips on techniques.

Simon Sepulveda • Nov 2020

Phil put together a great learning experience for my dad and I.

Thomas Wild • Oct 2020

Our teacher and venue were great. A nice and simple introduction to welding. There was plenty of hands on doing. The teacher gently moved among the relatively small class so everyone got help specific to their interests and ability.

Claudia Tu • Oct 2020

Great class the instructor was very knowledgeable and everyone got a lot of 1 on 1 time

Julian Hill • Oct 2020

Having owned a mig welder for years and never watched any tutorial videos or read the manual I decided to do this course. The course taught me how to Weld properly. Very happy.

Wendy Crane • Oct 2020

Welding for Beginners was a perfect introduction to learning how to weld. I had no prior experience and found Phil to be a really great teacher. The course was very practical and hands on, and I came away from the course feeling that I have the skills to be able to build on and that I will be able to do the welding required for my home project.

Cath Bisaro • Oct 2020

Great intro to welding. I had absolutely no welding experience but feel now with some practise, I could now weld.

Peter was really knowledgeable and was always happy with providing advice and feedback on our progress. The 4 hours flew by, only wish it had gone longer.

Alex Torney • Jul 2020

A really good introduction to welding, I was able to glean some insights that I dont think I'd have been able to figure out alone, such as how to set the welder to work properly. We worked with gasless mig welders. Started by doing a few tack welds and once we'd achieved a tack of decent strength we attempted some full length welds. I think I achieved a solid foundational skill to be honed.

Casey Finigan • Jul 2020

The teacher was a lovely man with lots of knowledge. Very hands on learning which I enjoyed.

Marco Gheri • Jul 2020

Good class for beginner, recommended for having a bit of understanding about how to set-up the machine and do basic stitching

David Goodsall • Jul 2020

I wanted to learn how to identify correct machine settings and tell a good weld from a bad one. Came away with that as well understanding how to get a smooth flat weld and fix mistakes. More than I expected and all in a single introduction session. Phil was good explaining what to do and then getting us to do it.

Ian Roche • Jul 2020

Teacher was super friendly and very knowledgeable,explained technical details in a very easy to understand way.The difference between my first weld and my last was unbelievable. Very good teacher,fills you with confidence and that makes you want to improve.

Dougal Biggart • Jul 2020

Great hands on for gas-less MIG welding. I think some diagrams on a board to explain theories on good and bad welds for beginners. Also maybe on the info prior to the course you could tell people if they have gloves and mask to bring theirs so they can experience their use. A lot to cover in three hours and I think it was great to hands on and experiment before buying a machine. Instructor was very patient and lots of advice. Would recommend to the beginner, the unsure or curious.

Nathanael Hughes • Jun 2020

Peter was helpful in showing us the basics with mig welding and encourages hands on learning. He is a relaxed and interesting person taking any stress out of learning. This was a great class for beginners and everyone left better at welding than when they started.

Peter Kearns • Jun 2020

Peter interacted with everyone
Good knowledge and his experience in welding was clear to see
Spoke to us at our level so ease of learning was great
He encouraged feedback from us at our introduction meet n greet and throughout the course
Peter did a great job
The dividing small screens are too low because when the guys next to our bench were welding we could not start until they stopped
Overall though very satisfied with course and now confident to practice at home with my machine

Jennifer Mattiussi • Mar 2020

Phil was a great teacher and he had the additional responsibility of making sure we were protected from the Coronavirus risks with additional gloves and masks.
The steps taken were clearly explained and we left with a good basic knowledge of how to weld.
I would recommend this course.

Sandra Barratt • Mar 2020

First time welding and really enjoyed it. Teacher was really good he explained everything perfectly. All material was supplied. Would recommend this course to beginner welders.

Giacomo Borghesi • Mar 2020

Class was amazing. Really useful to learn basic knowledge. Teacher really useful and prepared, open to answer any questions.

Michael Simpson • Mar 2020

He was able to impart his knowledge and let us ask plenty of questions

Kosta Kaptsis • Mar 2020

Welding with Phil. Was informative, educational and fun, would recommend for anyone looking to learn basic mig welding

Mark Barratt • Mar 2020

Phil was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. He was always encouraging and helpful.
The class was enjoyable and I came away with a good understanding of the basics pf welding along with the confidence to continue practicing and improving at home.

Barney Solomon • Mar 2020

I took the class to help me decide if welding was something I would like to know. Phil as an instructor has enormous amounts of knowledge and enthusiasm for teaching his class. All materials were supplied as well as welding masks and gloves. The instruction was exactly what I was looking for to help me decide if I wanted to invest in a machine. I did buy a machine and have since effectively made enough repairs to cover my outlay.
If I'd just purchased a machine without this class there is no way I'd be able to repair what I have. This class was excellent value. Thank you Phil and the team!

Christian Carter • Feb 2020

The welding workshop was awesome.

It was great just to have a turn to join to bits of metal together. Without sitting through 12 months of metallurgy theory and electrical classes.

Will be buying my own welding kits shortly so I can practice.

It was a great introduction.

Ben Faul • Feb 2020

I really enjoyed the class. The only thing that could be improved is maybe a bit more time. The end was a bit rushed and so the teacher didnt get a chance to get around to everyone. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wanted to learn welding!

Mark Glasson • Feb 2020

The class was informative and Phil was great at explaining the procedures of basic welding! I got exactly what I needed from this introduction to welding! Just need to practice to get better at it before taking on further tuition!

Geordie McSullea • Feb 2020

Really good workshop. I enjoyed it a lot. I would recommend it to friends.

Hepke Poutsma • Jan 2020

Very knowledgeable but at time lost his train of thoughts making the point he wanted to make come across confusing. Passionate and experienced.
He would be brilliant rather than good if he can get more structured and to the point in his explanations.
Enjoyed it and feel confident in starting welding.
When location changes, send out an email with the change! Arrived late because of it and that is no good for anybody.

Wayne Farrugia • Jan 2020

The course was great and Phil was very knowledgeable. Maybe in the future everyone could have their own welder to practice on.

Bruce McMillan • Jan 2020

Phil is very knowledgeable about welding. I have reasonable theoretical knowledge and it was great to finally have a chance to try electric arc (stick) and gasless MIG welding. Fantastic!

William Rock • Jan 2020

Teacher was very knowledgeable. However the class was at a different location than listed in the confirmation email and no contact was made to let anyone know the location had changed, apart from a note taped on the roller door of original location. The new location wasn't set-up for this type of class, all students sharing one folding table that moved everytime someone used the metal brush or steel wool. We were all so close together that it made it hard to get anything done.

Udi Milliken • Jan 2020

My husband and I did the welding class for something different to learn and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Phil was knowledgeable, interesting and practical and gave individual attention. Great teaching manner. Inspiring.
