there's a course at west london, run by hammersmith and fulham adult learning service
this actually gives you a small certificate, there's one starting on Tuesday but I can't commit to it yet, have to wait until April now I think.
after that I want to go to the TWI centre near Cambride where they teach you basically what you want to learn. It's £225 per day and you get no certificate, just a reference from the TWI saying what you learned.

He said for TIG welding if you want to go far you need ASME class 1 certification, but experience is needed for this, you can;t just do 2 weeks training and get the ticket. The guy on the phone said experience is what really counts in welding, fairly unusual in this age. The problem is getting your foot in the door.

I'm in a similar position, I trained to do something outdoors, now I can't because of medical problem. Now I'm looking at doing an apprenticeship in something, although I will be 25 in September so I will have to go for an 'adult apprenticeship' which the government just decided to cut funding for. Thanks, Gordon.
I considered doing one of those plumbing/electrical intensive courses, but they are not recognised as useful by a lot of companies, the people I spoke to on the phone and in forums said the college/apprenticeship route was the best
I'm now really looking at welding, not just because it will come in useful for when I want to build my own frames one day :)
