Comments from a 3-day lead welding course:
“Excellent course, very helpful instructors. The Course is very well run, all staff are friendly and helpful. My welding, after 3 days, is to a good standard, even though I’ve never welded before the course.” Dale Ligget, Richard Soan Roofing Services
“I found the course to be very helpful, having done roofing for a few years already, it was good to do the lead course as I have not done lead welding before. The teachers were very helpful and made the course more enjoyable.” Lee Payne, Richard Soan Roofing Services
Comments from a 5-day combined lead welding and bossing course:
“The course was organised, set up and presented very well! The facilities are excellent. My tutor was Pete, very patient and full of expert knowledge. I had never attempted lead welding before but Pete demonstrated and explained everything step-by-step, and within two days I could weld! I would recommend this training centre highly. I would like to thank both Pete and Yusof for making this course fun to do but also full of great information and advice!” Paul Spence
