Course Description
Welding Inspection and Quality Control is a professional training course built on content aligned to the AWS Welding Inspection Technology textbook — the industry standard reference for CWI candidates and welding quality professionals. This course covers the knowledge areas aligned to CWI Part A (Fundamentals); Part B and Part C preparation are covered in separate courses.
This course is ideal for inspectors preparing for the CWI exam, engineers who need a stronger technical foundation in welding processes and joint design, and procurement professionals responsible for qualifying and managing welding suppliers. Students will have 365 days from the date of purchase to complete the course and will receive a certificate of completion upon finishing. Pair it with the “CWI Part A Test Prep” App on the App Store to identify exactly where to focus your review. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cwi-part-a-test-prep/id6753327422
