Welder CertificationThe American Welding Society (AWS) has developed a program for certifying welders to national standards that is recognized by many industries. Western Technologies has AWS Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) capable of conducting the AWS certification.

The testing procedure requires you to make a weld under CWI supervision that is then tested to ensure the weld conforms to a particular code, standard, or written welding procedure specification. Testing methods include visual inspection, and may involve either destructive or nondestructive testing.
