What are good, simple metalworking courses I can take in the UK?

I want something that isn't too expensive and that I can work around a full time job. I have no experience but would like to learn to weld and use things like a press.

Where should I look, and what should I look for in terms of cost and what I'll be taught? Thanks!

You propably want to look for a model engineering course, or car fabrication.

I would guess thats too specialised for most college evening classes.

If its just technique you are looking for ( as oppsed to formal qualification ) you'd be best asking around and finding someone who can do this and spend a few days in thier shed. most people are happy to help. Maybe join a model engieering club for a year to find the contacts.
