I'm planning on doing one but can't seem to find anything which will be any good, I want to brush up on my basic MIG skills and learn TIG, ideally with some sort of qualification at the end.

Anyone?

No, but I did a modern apprenticship.

Did City & Guilds 201 Basic Engineering Competences & 229 Fabrication & Welding and an NVQ in Engineering Manufacture. Various EMTA Awards too throughout for displaying skills, competences etc.

I need it to be a part time course, it's for hobby not employment

Colin I thought it was pretty easy.. maybe not using the gas etc.. If I was at home I'd probably be more cautious. Loved tig welding, need steady hands though...
