Subject: MIG Welding
"“You’re never too old to qualify - keep at it and continue to learn."

About Reece Oates

Reece studied Level 2 MIG Welding at Derby College. He works as a Welder/Fabricator for Dales Fabrications Ltd.

“College came later on in my career after many years of in house training, I required the qualification to progress further to achieve my end goal. I believe taking further studies with Derby college helped me to see the needed progress I required to move forward with my career.”

Reece said about his welding career, “this industry isn’t worth getting into if you’re not going to go all the way and get fully qualified. The skills don’t come overnight but with plenty of practice and experience. I’ve learnt to always be open to accepting advice because if somebody can do it better than you or save you time it’s always worth it.”
