Posted By Philip Roberts Paul, we have used a company called Weldcare for our welder training, although based in Nottingham all courses can be run on your own site if required. Very satisfied with results. Try this link, www.weldcare.co.uk. Or you could try your local FE college such as Deeside in Flintshire which run 34 week training courses for welding best regards Phil

Posted By Jane Blunt Dear Paul I think you need to be more specific about what kind of welding you are doing when looking for a possible trainer. Most water and gas pipes seem to be plastic these days, and now that you have mentioned electrofusion butt welding this makes sense. General welding courses would teach people how to do MIG, TIG, MMA, etc mostly for metals, and is unliekly to even touch welding of plastics. I suspect your requirement is much more specific and can be learned in a much shorter time. Have you tried 'Googling' the name of the welding process - I did and it came up with a possible trainer, who do it in two days. Regards Jane

Posted By Jane Blunt The word fusion means melting and is a generic term that can quite properly be used for most (almost all) welding processes - hence the rather general replies you were getting. I found the same site as you, but if you look at the 'small print' I think you will find that they can do a course on your premises. Jane
