Choose the Right Course Path
Our courses are built for people who want hands-on skill, not theory alone. If you are new to handheld laser welding, start with the basics and build from there. If your team already works with metal fabrication or repair work, a refresher or operator induction can help tighten technique and improve safety on the floor.
We run training from our Boksburg base and support learners from Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town and Polokwane. The best option depends on your current skill, the type of material you work with and whether you need training for one person or a full workshop.
- Beginner-friendly handheld laser welding training
- Advanced practice for operators wanting more control
- Team inductions for workshops and maintenance crews
- Refresher visits for improved technique and safety
What You Learn in Training
Training covers how handheld laser welding equipment is handled, how to set up a clean work area, and how to keep the weld area stable and controlled. Learners practise on real material so they can see how travel speed, angle and joint preparation affect the finish. It is practical work, with guidance at each step.
You also learn where handheld laser welding fits into repair work, fabrication and light production. The focus is on useful skills that can be applied in a workshop straight away, not just classroom notes. Expect clear instruction, supervised practice and a simple training flow that makes sense for the job at hand.
- Machine handling and basic set-up
- Joint preparation and part alignment
- Heat control, travel speed and torch angle
- Practical welding practice on suitable metals
Safety Essentials for Laser Welding
Safety is part of every course. Handheld laser welding involves a focused light source, so correct eye protection is essential and it must match the laser class used in the training setup. We also cover safe work positioning, controlled access around the work area and why reflective surfaces need attention.
Fume extraction matters too, especially when welding in enclosed workshops or near other workers. Good airflow and proper extraction help keep the space safe and comfortable, which is important when load-shedding, dust or poor ventilation can make conditions harder. Learners are shown how to keep cables, hoses and workpieces organised so the space stays tidy and practical.
- Laser class awareness and safe operating habits
- Correct eye protection for the equipment in use
- Fume extraction and airflow checks
- Housekeeping around the work bay
Starter Kits for Learners and Workshops
Our starter kits are set up for people who want a practical way to begin or to support a small workshop. A kit may include useful setup items for practice, handling and day-to-day use, depending on what is needed for your application. We keep the focus on items that help with learning, setup and consistent work in local conditions.
For South African workshops, that often means thinking about dust, coastal humidity, transport between sites and power interruptions. A sensible kit should be easy to manage, easy to store and ready for regular use. We can also talk through what should be included for beginners versus a team that already has welding experience.
- Practice-ready starter items for training use
- Setup support for small workshops
- Consumables planning for ongoing work
- Advice for storage and transport in local conditions
How to Pick a Kit or Course Level
If you are unsure where to start, think about what the learner or workshop must do next month, not only next week. A beginner often needs more guided practice and a simpler kit, while a working operator may need a focused refresher and support with workflow, safety and output quality. We help you choose based on the job, material type and the space available.
Some customers only need a short introduction, while others want training plus starter kit setup and supervisor coaching. We can also advise on site readiness checks before equipment is used, which helps avoid delays when the workshop is under pressure. A little planning goes a long way here, especially if you are setting up more than one station.
- Choose beginner, refresher or team training
- Match the kit to the material and workload
- Plan for space, storage and supervision
- Check readiness before first use
Support After the Course
After training, we can assist with workflow advice, technical help and refresher visits so the skills remain practical on the floor. If your team needs help with setup, supervisor coaching or a training document pack, we can keep the follow-up simple and useful. That matters when a workshop is busy and staff need clear guidance.
Our team includes a training coordinator, lead welding instructor, safety and compliance officer, starter kit sales consultant, technical support advisor and workshop support technician. Clients contact us through the enquiry form on our contact page, and we work from our Boksburg base with support across Gauteng and beyond.
- Operator inductions and safety briefings
- Starter kit setup and technical help
- Supervisor coaching and quality walkthroughs
- Refresher visits and training document packs
