13.01.2022 **Update...Introduction to Welding! Wayne Dickenson is your tutor at Marian College Ararat, this course is fully booked but due to the year from 'you know where' with all those lockdowns, disruptions, restrictions, mandates and more, we have to delay this weekends start due to Year 12 exams being finalised at Marian College. Students enrolled will be informed by phone of the new start date and will still need to provide equipment such as their own combination overalls or non-flammable protective clothing, welding mask, solid leather boots, safety glasses and welding gauntlets, and the government mandated vaccination information. Call us on 53493150 or message here if you have any questions in the mean time. Apologies again... #welding #education #learnlocal #skills #industry #safety #Community #givingback #BCHLC
