Swaby Academy offers hands‑on training across multiple welding processes, giving you the skills and confidence to grow in the trade. You can choose from four focused welding courses—SMAW/Stick, GMAW/MIG, TIG/GTAW, and FCAW welding, —all available with flexible Pay‑as‑You‑Go options (Term).

For those new to welding, the Introduction to Welding course provides a guided overview of the main three processes (excluding FCAW) and Oxy-Acetylene Cutting, allowing you to explore the fundamentals and decide which path best fits your goals before committing to a specific discipline.

Stick Welding
