Training & Certification
TWI (Training Within Industry)
The TWI Diplomas in Welding Engineering were introduced by TWI as an alternative to the EWF/IIW diploma for those candidates who do not meet the access conditions.
The TWI Diplomas are also recognized by employers globally as a confirmation of a high level of knowledge, expertise, and organizational understanding of welding. They also fulfil the exacting quality requirements required for welding coordination, covering a large variety of applications, materials and processes.
AWS (American Welding Society)
Certified Welder Certifications
The AWS Certified Welder program allows for welders to obtain multiple certifications to expand their credentials. Every certification that a welder earns increases the number of skills needed to perform a wide range of welding jobs. See a list of certifications that a welder can obtain through the CW program.
The Certified Welder (CW) program tests welders on procedures used in the structural steel, petroleum pipelines, sheet metal, and chemical refinery welding industries.
CW tests are performed at AWS Accredited Testing Facilities (ATFs) located throughout the world, and candidates must make an appointment to participate. These testing facilities adhere to strict standards for welder testing and can test welders to AWS Standard Welding Procedures, industry standard specifications, and company-supplied or non-code welding specifications
ASNT (American Society for Non-destructive Testing)
ASNT Certification is the most recognized credential for NDT and has been the standard for the nondestructive testing industry for nearly a half century. Getting certified with ASNT provides industry recognition, career advancement opportunities, and confidence in your inspection abilities.
PCN (Personnel Certification In Non-Destructive Testing)
NDT and CM qualifications are provided through a number of Authorized Qualifying Bodies and certificates of competence are issued under the brand name of the PCN Scheme.
A certificate of competence is a document issued under the rules of the certification system indicating that the certificated person is competent to perform the inspection tasks defined in the relevant documents and demonstrates your ability to detect flaws and defects, and to satisfy specifications that call for certificated competent inspectors.
PCN certification will also facilitate compliance with ISO 9001:2015 (clause 6.2.2) requirements for ‘competence, awareness and training’.
