Carly is an adult learner who has progressed from the Skills Bootcamp in Welding to a Pipe Welder Apprenticeship.

“I decided to sign up because I would like to pursue a career as a Pipe Welder. The best parts of the course were passing my bend tests and constructing a tool box from scratch using the MIG and TIG welding skills I had learnt. The trainers on the course are excellent. I would tell anyone thinking about doing the Skills Bootcamp in Welding to go for it.”
