Certified Welding Educator Program

The Certified Welding Educator Program (CWE) is geared for the welding professional specifically in the welding education field. This AWS

certification confirms your ability, talent and knowledge to specifically direct and perform  operations associated with  welder training and

classroom instruction . The CWI and CWE exams are identical; however  the  Part C: Code Book portion is not a requirement for the CWE

certification. Both certifications (CWI and CWE) may be achieved simultaneously.Please check the appropriate box located on the top-left

corner of the CWI/CWE Exam Application  whether  you applying for  one or both  certifications. It is mandatory that you also submit the

CWE Welding Instructor Credentials form along with the completed CWI/CWE Exam Application.

CERTIFIED WELDING ENGINEER PROGRAM (CWENG)

A  person  with  the  demonstrated  education  , experience ,  and  knowledge  as  defined  by  this  information  and  who

successfully passes the required examinations is considered  qualified as an AWS Certified  Welding  Engineer (CWEng). The CWEng is
 
capable of directing those operations associated with weldments and other types of joints that are completed in accordance with the

appropriate c ontract  documents , codes , and  other  standards to produce a satisfactory product. The welding engineers  activities

begins before  production or construction  welding and continues  through  the  production process  then ending when the production

process is complete. Each employer is responsible for defining the specific duties of the CWEng in their place of employment.

NOTE: While  the AWS CWEng  has established  excellent credentials , qualification to this specification alone may not  legally qualify

the engineer  to  provide   technical services to  the  public . Contract documents , building or  jurisdiction  laws may require  technical 
 
services to be performed under the direction and responsibility of others such as a registered Professional Engineer. The AWS CWEng

designation DOES NOT imply the status of a registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) under the laws of any state or other governmental

entity. Education and Experience Requirements for Access to the Examinations Each individual for qualification as an AWS CWEng shall

possess one of the following combinations of education and relevant experience to be eligible for the AWS CWEng examination. You

must meet one of the conditions below in order to gain entrance to the examination.


1. Individuals with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in engineering and a minimum of one (1) year of related experience.

2. Individuals with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in engineering technology and a minimum of two (2) years of related experience.

3. Individuals with other related Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degrees and a minimum of five (5) years of related experience.

4. Individuals with an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree and a minimum of ten (10) years of related experience.

5. Individuals who have successfully competed high school or an equivalent program and a minimum fifteen (15) years of related experience




Certified Welding Fabricator Program (CWF)

An appropriate welding quality  system is the    foundation of delivering   a quality welded product or service. When designed for the

welding fabricator's unique products and suitably committed to paper and practice, the daily manufacturing operations of the welding

fabricator are more consistent and traceable when problems arise. It is an increasing trend that customers want to see that a welding

quality assurance system is   documented and   demonstrated.   They are concerned that the welding fabricator and that fabricator's

subcontractors are capable of welding products that meet specifications. The core of a welding quality system is a quality manual that

will identify the duties and responsibilities of management, supervisors, and welders, and will provide the customer with better information

 about who is responsible to ensure that the welding meets specifications. Companies of all sizes can benefit substantially through the

systematic improvements encouraged by state-of-the-art quality systems.



AWS-Certified Welding Inspector (CWI)

The Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) certification is widely recognized, both nationally and internationally, in the welding industry.

Successful companies have come to rely on this AWS certification when ensuring the highest level of quality workmanship.





Certified Welding Supervisor Program (CWS)

Is your organization interested in finding ways to increase welding productivity while improving and maintaining acceptable weld

quality? Welding Supervisors can make a valuable   contribution to the four most important metrics in welding operations: quality,

cost, productivity and safety. Yet, the position of welding supervisor is often an overlooked resource. Often the underlying cause

of a supervisor's inability to improve productivity can be traced to   inadequate knowledge and the minimal amount of time that a

supervisor actually spends with welders. The AWS Certified Welding   Supervisor program was created to rectify these conditions

by offering welding supervisors and their companies the opportunity    to put the welding supervisor in a support position for the

welders , making them the  most  productive and  best they  can be . This innovative program identifies a body of knowledge all

welding  supervisors should know and understand in order to increase productivity and improve weld quality.




SENIOR CERTIFIED WELDING INSPECTOR PROGRAM (SCWI)

The After you've been a CWI for a minimum of six years, and your career has evolved into supervisory or managerial responsibilities

in the field of quality control/quality assurance, you will want to apply for the highest level of certification: a Senior Certified Welding

Inspector, or SCWI . SCWIs are in demand by companies looking to have it all-skilled, seasoned welding managers who can do the job

and supervise others. The SCWI is an individual who is in a supervisory position and has attained a higher level of experience than a

CWI. The successful applicant also has professional education which has provided the opportunity to solve problems with a scope and

level of difficulty beyond those experienced as a CWI.
