  We report the realisation of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of metastable
helium atoms using an in-vacuum coil magnetic trap and a crossed beam optical
dipole trap. A novel quadrupole-Ioffe configuration (QUIC) magnetic trap made
from in-vacuum hollow copper tubes provides fast switching times while
generating traps with a 10G bias, without compromising optical access. The bias
enables in-trap 1D doppler cooling to be used, which is the only cooling stage
between the magneto-optic trap (MOT) and the optical dipole trap. This allows
direct transfer to the dipole trap without the need for any additional
evaporative cooling in the magnetic trap. The entire experimental sequence
takes 3.3 seconds, with essentially pure BECs observed with $\sim 10^6$ atoms
after evaporative cooling in the dipole trap.
