Maker's bio

I’m Nige Andrews, a seasoned welder, hands-on trainer and the founder of Qualitig, a Coventry-based welding workshop. For over 30 years I’ve worked across a wide range of industries from custom one-off projects to high-volume production including producing the torch for the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham 2022. What I enjoy most is sharing my knowledge and working with people who are new to welding or coming back to it after some time away. I believe in making welding approachable, practical and enjoyable, so you can build confidence while learning real-world skills. Please do not hesitate to message me if you have any questions.

Andrew reviewed: Welding Taster Evenings With Nige Andrews

"Brilliant! Answered all my questions. As the description to the course says learnt about MIG and TIG welding and the difference between them. Also about iron and aluminium welding. I had loads of live demos and was able to try out MIG and TIG welding on aluminium and steel! Great tutor! Thanks Nige!"

Qualitig responded:

"Thanks Andrew. It was great meeting you and giving you a better understanding of what your options are going forward in welding."

Stephen Clarke reviewed: Full Day MIG & TIG Welding Workshop

"Excellent day, thank you so much Trevor for a kind welcome and such expert guidance throughout the day. Just what I wanted. I’m a complete beginner, and have left with confidence to get the right kit and tackle some simple DIY jobs."

Qualitig responded:

"Thank you so much Stephen. I had a brilliant day with you and I'm over the moon that you know feel confident to tackle your own DIY jobs. I'm here if you need anything. You've got my number now! :)"

Vicky and Vlad reviewed: Full Day MIG & TIG Welding Workshop

"We recently attended a welding workshop with Nigel from Qualitig, and it was one of the best experience days we’ve ever had! We gained so much knowledge in just one day and had an incredible amount of fun along the way. Before the workshop, Nigel checked in with us to see how he could personalise the day to suit us best — we were even able to bring our own welder, which made the experience even more relevant and practical. Nigel was kind enough to allocate the entire day specifically to TIG welding, as we’d recently bought a TIG welder and wanted to gain more hands-on knowledge, along with tips for our single-spine stair project. Nigel is not only a patient and supportive teacher, but also a genuinely great person. His passion for welding and teaching really shines through, and he made us feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire session. We highly recommend Nigel—whether you’re looking to improve your welding skills or just want to try something new and exciting, this workshop is an amazing experience. Also, check out his Qualitig website to see all the different workshops Nigel offers!"

Qualitig responded:

"Thank you both for coming along to the day, you both did so well and you made the day so fun and enjoyable. And the bonus of bringing your own set with you was that you can jump straight on to your own projects when you get home. I really look forward at seeing how far your new skills take you.🤗"

Chris C reviewed: Full Day MIG & TIG Welding Workshop

"Thank you Nige for showing me how to weld for the whole day as part of your welding workshops. I had a brilliant experience and now feel way more confident with tools in general. It's less intimidating when you are working with a pro at your own pace. Thanks for being super supportive and patient with me. The tunes you played took complete pressure away from the day and you've converted me into an ABBA fan. Can't wait to book in another day with you and work on something that I need repairing. Nige is an awesome guy and great trainer with a lot of patience and you can tell he loves what he does by the amount of care and attention he puts in to make your experience great. Plus some of his repairs he was showing me are outstanding. If you struggling with birthday or Christmas present ideas, a welding workshop should be first on your list."

Qualitig responded:

"Thank you so much Chris, it was a great having you over and just seeing you growing in confidence as you were putting welds down as soon as the first hour. And the music definitely made the day go quicker lol. Happy welding Chris and book in again when your about."
