Talked to instructor "Eman" (I suppose short for Emmanuel), and he toured me their "classroom". I didn't check out their stick welders, but saw a guy working feverishly on something. Apparently, that student is applying to work in Australia, and MFI is his ticket to success, so I wish him the best.
Eman asked me why I want to learn MIG weld, and I said it's just a hobby, and he was cool with that (he also teaches ARC, and TIG, and he did say that MIG would be best/easiest for newbie learners, and stick would be least expensive).
They only accept up to 5 students for their one week (8 am to 5 pm, Mon to Fri) forty hour course (30% lecture, 70% hands-on). There's also a schedule for 5 days (3 Saturdays, 2 sundays) as well as a 5:30 pm to 9 pm (evening classes) that's 2 weeks.
Their MIG welders are a bunch of Miller CP-302 machines (as far as I'm concerned, they were gigantic; all of a sudden my Miller 211 (which is still on the way to California, then another 4-6 weeks on a boat before it gets here) feels rather small, haha).
The course is a rather stiff P10,000... but, hey, all safety equipment and consumables is taken care of by them. I know a lot of you got by with videos and books, as well as hands on practice, but this looks interesting, so I'm looking at my schedule now to see where I can fit this in.
Reasonable na rin yung price bro..mahal din ang argon and mig wire plus konsumo pa sa kuryente..gusto ko rin sana mag enroll dati sa tesda kaso nga lang wala akong bakanteng oras..
Yes madali lang matuto mag mig,unlike stick maraming variables na dapat matutunan nauubos kasi yung electrode..habang umiigsi ang electrode kailangan mag compensate ka sa stick out,angle and travel speed..
From stick to mig nanibago lang ako,nung una di ko makita yung weld puddle natatakpan ng nozzle lol!
Katagalan nakuha ko rin ang proper tecnique..
