ABOUT CERTIFICATION

CWI certification is issued only by the American Welding Society. Our course prepares you for the AWS exam; it does not award certification. AWS sets work-experience and education requirements to sit for the exam. Call us and we will help you check if you qualify and complete your AWS application.
