One-on-one welder training courses
Alternative option to a Welding School or
Welding college
(No Previous experience required)
"I have become so confident in my teaching method that I guarantee my students they will be able to weld perfectly by the end of the course providing, as long as they listen to the 2.5 hour theory before we go into practical training. Then you need to listen and follow my corrections while you are welding"
97.6% success rate since 2010
"Artificial Intelligence is changing many industries, but skilled trades remain essential. Welding is a practical skill that combines knowledge, judgement and manual dexterity. Robots can perform repetitive production welding in factories, but they still require skilled welders to program them, maintain them and carry out work in construction, repair, fabrication and many custom applications..."
Welcome to Weldin1Day™
I developed a completely different way of teaching welding since 2010. It’s based on understanding, cause and effect, and independent thinking rather than repetition and memorisation.
My philosophy is simple: don’t teach people what to think. Teach them how to think like a welder.
The Weldin1Day Method™
“Don’t tell me it can’t be done. Watch me.”
My results speak louder than my words
“I’ve been teaching complete beginners since 2010, with a 97.6% success rate.”
If you’re looking for another welding course where you’re told to hold the rod at this angle and move at that speed, you’ve come to the wrong place.
I’m going to teach you something much more valuable.
I’m going to teach you how to understand welding.
Once you understand why the molten weld pool behaves the way it does, you’ll stop guessing, stop memorising, and start thinking like a welder.
My goal isn’t to help you produce one good weld on the day.
My goal is to give you the knowledge to produce good welds for the rest of your life.”
The Weldin1Day Method
A teaching methodology based on:
- Understanding instead of memorising.
- Cause and effect.
- Diagnosing instead of guessing.
- Visual analogies (Pac-Man, Smiley Face, Saw Tooth).
- Simple ratios.
- Building confidence through understanding.
- Producing independent welders.
“The welding course that produces the most independent proficient welders.”
“The best welding course on the planet shouldn’t be judged by how many welding techniques it contains. It should be judged by how many independent welders it creates.”
I have developed a new educational philosophy based on a completely different approach to learning.
“When I’m not there to help, my students must be able to work out for themselves what they are doing wrong.”
A Skill for Life
Learn a practical skill you’ll use for the rest of your life.
Learn a trade.
Create opportunities.
AI may change many industries, but it still can’t replace a skilled welder.
“Learn to think like a welder.”
I have created an educational philosophy through a different learning approach.

 WARNING!
This course comes with a warning…
Welding is highly addictive!
There’s something incredibly satisfying about taking two pieces of steel and permanently joining them together with your own hands.
Once you understand how to control the molten weld pool and start producing neat, professional-looking welds, you’ll find yourself looking for excuses to weld things!
Don’t say I didn’t warn you… 
This isn’t just another welding course.
It’s a completely different way of learning to weld.
A different way of teaching.
Instead of teaching you what to do, I teach you why you’re doing it. Once you understand the cause and effect behind every movement, welding becomes logical rather than guesswork.
Attention to detail is everything. Often, the smallest and most subtle adjustment to your technique can produce a remarkable improvement in your results.
My goal isn’t simply to help you produce a good weld today.
“My goal is to teach you how to think like a welder for the rest of your life.”
Not:
But:
- “Understand it so you no longer need me.”
A skill for life. An asset.
If someone finishes my course and, six months later, encounters a weld they’ve never done before—but they can analyse the puddle, understand what’s happening, adjust their technique, and solve the problem without needing me—that’s success.
That would be something genuinely different. Not because it has better cameras or slicker editing, but because it changes the way people think and understand the welding techniques and principles.
That’s the kind of difference that lasts.
“If you’ve struggled to learn welding before, let me reassure you of one thing… you’re probably not the problem. More often than not, it’s the way welding has been explained to you. My job is to explain it differently.”
~~~
“One of the most satisfying moments for me as an instructor is watching someone who’s never welded before produce a beautiful weld on their very first attempt.
They usually stop, chip the slag away, look at the weld, then look back at me with a smile that says, ‘I didn’t think I could do that.’
That moment never gets old.
It isn’t luck. It isn’t talent. It’s simply the result of understanding what you’re doing before you strike the first arc.”
This goes for any type of welding whether it be Arc, MIG, TIG stainless or TIG aluminium.
I achieve the exact same results.
“I don’t tell students they’re doing it wrong. I tell them why it’s happening.”
One lesson has stayed with me over the years.
A student was learning to weld upside down. I noticed he had almost everything right. His travel speed was good, his arc length was good, but one of his welding angles was slightly incorrect.
I deliberately said nothing.
I wanted him to finish the weld first.
When he chipped the slag away, the disappointment on his face said it all.
I smiled and said, “That didn’t turn out very well, did it?”
He agreed.
I then explained, “The good news is that you only got one thing wrong. Everything else was correct. Change just that one angle, and do everything else exactly the same.”
He welded the joint again.
This time, the weld was excellent.
That lesson taught him something far more valuable than me simply telling him his angle was wrong halfway through the weld.
He saw for himself that one small change produced a completely different result.
That’s one of the fundamental principles I teach throughout this course.
Welding isn’t about guessing.
It’s about understanding how every movement affects the molten weld pool.
Often, one subtle adjustment is all it takes to transform an average weld into an excellent one.

One-on-one Welder Training Courses. I COME TO YOU!
Learn how to weld proficiently, in just 1 Day!
Learning to weld proficiently, is a gift for life!
I come to your premises to teach you, anywhere in England UK.
This is undoubtedly the most comprehensive, detailed and in-depth one-on-one welder training course available.
I can make the bold statement of "Learn to weld in 1 Day" because my previous students have averaged a 97% success rate since 2010. Therefore, it stands to reason, that my teaching methods and style must certainly have credability to them.
In the beginning I, like many other experienced welders, did not believe it possible to teach others to weld proficiently, in just one day. Because it is such a complex skill, with many intricate techniques to master.
Until I was approached to create a “1 Day welder training course” by Vauxhall car manufacturers in North London. I managed to create this exact course and have followed it ever since, with great results. I have a 97% success rate with all my students, since I started teaching in 2010.
Welding is an art. I teach students all the necessary components
to become proficient welders, in just one day. I've developed a strategy
that works, starting with the theory of welding first.
Because understanding the priciples of welding, makes all the difference.
I then move on to practical demonstrations once the theory is understood.
If you do not have premises where we can do the welder training, I then use a company north of London called BLOQS. They have all the requirements to hire floor space from them in a welder cubicle.
This is an example of welding a notched beam on a construction site. The welds need to be absolutely perfect. The welded beam here needed to carry a double story building.
Many welders shy away from this type of welding. There's a lot of responsibility involved here. If that beam breaks, the building comes down.
I have a £2,000,000 public liability insurance policy to cover me on construction sites.
I have a theory, which I do not want to test at any point. I can only claim once. After that the insurance company won't want to insure me again.
So my carear would be ended as a construction site welder.
I will teach you my very simple and logical way to overcome the risk of this kind of weld ever failing. Yet, strangely enough, engineers do not specify my welding technique to overcome this potential problem. Don't understand why not?
Such a simple and straight forward solution.
This photograph was taken at an international aircraft maintenance company in London. This student had never welded before, and I was teaching him aluminium welding, which is the most difficult technique of them all.
At the end of the course the on site managers gave me amazing feedback, saying, the students agreed it was "the best course they have ever been on"
This shows, that by just carefully, and maticulously follow my instruction, you CAN achieve proficient welding results.
My name is Deon van Rooyen, the creator of these, Learn to weld proficiently, in 1 Day welder training courses.
You can checkout my website to see all the welding activities I do on a daily basis. From welding structural beams on construction sites to welding aluminium bicycles. Aluminium welding repairs to motorcycles, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron, Audi R8, Mercedes, BMW …. . the list goes on. TIG Aluminium welding since 1993. MIG and Arc welding since 1973. I’m working on the idea of converting all my teaching knowledge over into video welder training courses now.
Ferrari Aluminium welding repairs.
I have picked up so much welding experience from the multitude of diverse activities I get myself involved with. I don’t say no to a challenge in life. In fact, I have a phrase on my website that gets me into trouble from time to time saying.
“My approach to work is, Nothing is a problem”.
I have reached retirement age and want to pass on my acquired knowledge to the world in the form of video courses.
I have spent years experimenting with different techniques out
in the field. Now I’m recording everything I’ve learned on paper and turning it into video footage.
I combine my Arc and MIG welding course together because of their similarities.
Stainless steel welding course is a separate 1 Day welding course. Aluminum welding course is seperate too.
I added the facility to share the courses, teaching 4 students at a time to split the cost. That is, if the students have a little bit of
previous welding experience. Otherwise I prefer not to teach
more than 3 students with little or no previous experience.
This next photo was taken of me in 2019.
I haven’t changed much since creating these welding courses.
The Art of becoming a successful welder.
The art of welding, is learning how to control the 1440 degree C liquid molten metal puddle. How to overcome gravity pulling on the liquid puddle. Using very easy to follow techniques I teach and show you. Easy tips and tricks that make a remarkable difference to your results. How to control the liquid puddle to flow exactly where you want it to go. I watch over your shoulder, guiding you every step of the way.
It is really that easy, once you understand my indepth and detailed explanations. That is why I achieve a 97% success rate.
These are photos extracted from one of many videos shot using the combination of the amazing video camera, lense filter and software I use to achieve these clear images and videos.
The camera manages to get rig of the overexposure of the extremely bright light which helps to show and explain the techniques I use to teach.
"Do as I Do, and you WILL achieve the exact same results"
It is very important to keep an eye on this molten metal puddle to control the flow of the liquid. Guiding it exactly where you want it.
All explained in the one-on-one course.
This is the standard of Arc welding I achieve from my students
when they carefully, and maticulously follow my instructions.
Follow my instructions and you WILL
achieve the same welding results.
This forms part of the 1 Day welder training course
to show and teach how to avoid this from happening.
This is the result from one of my students after
1 days Arc welder training.
This was an interesting example. This student was sent off to a 1 Day welding course in north London to learn stainless steel TIG welding. Arrived back at the company and asked. Did you learn everything needed. Nope, I didn't learn a thing! Oh dear.
That's when I was contacted to go to them to do my 1 Day training course. They had a very old TIG welder. I checked it out, made one slight adjustment to the settings and found it to work perfectly. These are the results from this student on my TIG stainless steel welding course. This was his second attempt.
Absolutely perfect weld. I was so pleased with his results.

This testimonial - review was from my very first
training course back in 2010
Here is a short list of the companies I have taught in the past:
Pilkington Glass in Liverpool where I taught 7 of their students over a 2 day period.
Coco Cola. I go back every 4 years to give them refresher courses.
2 Aircraft component maintenance companies. One near Stanstead airport and another company north of London.
