Thanks and cheers @LeChef . I’m fairly experienced with some metal work leading up to welding for various projects in my atrskool. I’m also a big fan of making jigs. So I think a course similar to the one you described would work well I guess. Would be amazing to have some welding skills under my belt and make the most of all the metal working facilities for my final year in September. In an ideal world I would just learn this in the workshop but unfortunately hasn’t been an option these last couple years.

Just gonna add that I did the C+G course levels 1 and 2 which are heavily focused on getting you to pass certain test joints, so you don't really learn how to build stuff out of metal more generally.
Since passing, I've had to get to grips with accurately cutting, shaping, cleaning, and fitting up parts (and welding them in non optimal positions). On the course we had perfectly cut pieces where we could practice for weeks. Just a thought.
