January 19, 2026Want to build practical welding skills without committing to a long- term qualification? Our one day basic welding course could be exactly what you are looking for!
These hands-on courses are designed to be suitable for every skill level – whether you’re a complete beginner with absolutely no experience or a welder who wants to feel more confident behind the torch – our trainer tailors the course completely to your experience level.
Our short courses are all about practical learning, not classroom theory.
Why Choose a 1 Day Welding Course?

- Want to learn the basics quickly
- Need welding skills for DIY, maintenance or fabrication work
- Are considering welding as a career and want to try it first
- Already weld but want to improve technique or confidence
You’ll spend the majority of the day actually welding with expert guidance throughout - no wasted time, no pressure.
Following this course, you will receive a certificate of attendance – if you are after industry recognised qualifications, we recommend checking out our coded courses.
MIG, TIG or MMA – Which Welding Course Is Right for You?
If you're not sure which process to choose, here’s a quick breakdown.
MIG Welding Course (Metal Inert Gas)
A MIG welding course is usually the most popular option for beginners. MIG welding is easier to learn, forgiving and widely used in fabrication, automotive work and general workshop environments.
Perfect if you want quick results and a strong foundation.

TIG Welding Course (Tungsten Inert Gas)
TIG welding courses are ideal if you want precision and control. TIG welding is more technical than MIG but produces cleaner, higher-quality welds.
This course suits those looking to develop skill and finesse.

MMA Welding Course (Manual Metal Arc / Stick Welding)
An MMA welding course (also known as stick welding) is great for outdoor work, repairs and heavier fabrication.
MMA welding is tough, versatile and still widely used across many industries.

What to Expect on the Day
Our welding courses in Telford are relaxed, friendly and focused on learning by doing.
When you arrive, you’ll start by having a cuppa and a group chat with our instructor so he can understand what your skill level is like and what you are hoping to achieve from the course.
Following this, you’ll get stuck in with welding pretty quickly – our trainer will talk you through some theory such as welding safety, machine settings, techniques etc and once you feel comfortable and confident, the welding will commence.
Our trainer will remain close by and provide tips and guidance as you crack on with your welds.
No prior experience is needed - everything is explained clearly, step by step to a pace that suits you.
