Becoming a Certified Welding Inspector

Think you have what it takes to become an American Welding Society Certified Welding Inspector? It starts with specialized training and experience! High school graduates can apply after five years of work experience related to welding, and those with a Bachelor in welding engineer or technology can apply after one year of experience.  Some non-welding post-secondary education can also be applied toward the work experience requirements.

Certification exams are offered by the American Welding Society throughout the year and across the country. To pass, applicants must receive a 72 percent or better on this three part exam, which includes both fundamental questions and practical application, along with a separate vision test. A three-year renewal is required to maintain the certification, but only the vision test must be repeated for renewal.
