I did a 10 week, 3 hours per week evening course at Walthamstow college in NE London which I would recommend highly - cost about ?150 2 years ago.
We did gas/oxy, MIG and got to use plasma cutters and spot welders too. Also had free use of workshop facilities there whilst enrolled as a student including a full low bake spray oven and 4 poster hydraulic ramps.
You can learn yourself or from a mate, but a course gives you a good foundation on how to do it right, and then its just practice.
Good luck - you won't regret doing it.
This site is excellent if you haven't seen it already:
