WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS SAY
I can talk about the course the whole day, but the old course participants do it better.
"I joined the course as a complete beginner. It had been over 25 years since I last did any welding back in school. Anssi is an excellent instructor, and his practical, clear approach made learning smooth and motivating. As a qualified teacher myself, I especially appreciated how carefully everything was thought through — what we were doing and, more importantly, why we were doing it. The course content was designed to support learning without overwhelming theory. The focus was on hands-on practice and truly understanding how to do things correctly.
Jussi Mikkonen
The exercises progressed in a logical, step-by-step manner, which supported my learning extremely well. Each stage prepared you for the next, and throughout the day you could genuinely feel your skills improving. The limited group size allowed for personal guidance, making the practice highly effective and giving plenty of room for questions and individual feedback. I also found the pair work to be a great approach — you benefit not only from doing the work yourself, but also from closely observing someone else’s technique.
The course clearly aimed at truly understanding both the method and the purpose behind the work. Over the course of the day, I gained so much confidence and practical skill that I now feel completely comfortable continuing to weld on my own. This course is an excellent example of what happens when expertise, pedagogical thinking, and hands-on experience come together.”

"I attended Anssi's welding course out of personal interest, with no prior welding experience.
Antti Martin
Anssi has a natural ability to simplify the variables of welding, and he was excellent at guiding and challenging students to develop their skills independently. I’m extremely satisfied, as I feel this course made my Mechanical Engineering studies at university a few years later much easier."
Quality Coordinator | Bluefors Oy
“I had been thinking for a long time that it would be good to learn the basics of welding. I knew Anssi through work, so I decided to join the course. The one-day course was very hands-on and clearly structured, making it suitable even for someone with no prior experience. I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning welding.”

"The welding course at Ape's Metalshop provided an excellent and clear overview of all the basics in just one day. Through hands-on practice, I learned everything I needed to continue training independently. Full recommendation, 5/5!" (Translated from original language)
Niklas Himberg
Lawyer | Lakitoimisto Himberg Oy
"The course guarantees you’ll learn the basics of welding and the equipment. After that, it’s easy to continue practicing independently." (Translated from original language)

Sales representative | Würth Oy
"These days, you can learn a lot from YouTube, but when it comes to welding, the basics are definitely best learned hands-on. That’s why this course easily deserves a 5/5 rating."

“As a homeowner, I had dreamed for decades of learning to weld, as renovation and DIY projects often require more than just woodworking tools and skills. I even bought a few welding books years ago, but I couldn’t find a suitable course — most were far too long and difficult to approach.
Jukka Rantamäki
A little while ago, I wanted to build a simple tool similar to the rear end of a logging cart to help drag logs out of the forest. I was able to find wheels and axles at hardware stores, but no bolt-on components. One sleeve that was otherwise the right size was labeled ‘weld-on sleeve,’ and that sparked me to start looking into welding again. That’s how I found Juvonen’s welding course. I completed my hot work permit the very next day, and the day after that I was already in Vantaa, welding for the first time in my life!
During the course day, I received just the right amount of background information, along with as much hands-on welding practice as I could fit into the day. I was able to ask about everything related to welding itself, as well as the preparation stages and the tools involved. The atmosphere of the course was relaxed and the structure was very logical — it wasn’t just about trying things out, but about genuinely learning and improving.
After Juvonen’s course, I started seeing things to weld everywhere. Next time I need a stair trolley, I won’t buy one from a hardware store — I’ll make it myself. After the course, I’ve been exploring small MIG/MAG machines and plan to continue practicing what I started on the course with my own equipment!”
