I know paying for courses is out but the dole can pay for that, ok you'll have to pay for materials but you can fob the college off for a few months just to hone your welding skills to pass a weld test to get a job to pay for the material costs (they aren't too fussed about time on this normally). Where I work we are struggling to get welders/fabbies. Once you are on the course ask if you can get shown a bit about tig welding and grab the basics, once you know that and what to look for then go for it, worked for me
