CWI PROGRAM INFORMATION
The AWS 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 to ensure the highest level of quality workmanship.
The examination is based on three parts: Part A – Fundamentals, Part B – Practical, and Part C – Code Application. Please read the following important materials carefully before applying for the CWI exam:
Welding Inspector Exam Application AWS Certification Schedule
CWE Welding Instructor Credentials Certification Price List
Visual Acuity Record AWS Exam Cancellation Refund Policies and other Fees
CWI Body of Knowledge QC1:2007, Standard for AWS Certification of Welding Inspectors
To qualify for examination registration, a Welding Inspector Exam Application and the required supporting documentation must be submitted and approved. Applications with incomplete or missing information will be considered unqualified unless the missing documentation can be provided within two (2) week of being notified (via telephone or email) that their application is incomplete. If the applicant fails to meet the qualification criteria for the exam, the exam fee (or the exam portion of a seminar/exam package fee) will be refunded minus a processing fee.
Purchasing a seminar package that includes the cost of the exam does not automatically ensure registration for the exam. If applying for the seminar and the examination, applicants will automatically be registered for the seminar, but approval for the exam is contingent upon meeting the examination registration criteria. The standard processing time is six weeks and applicants will be notified by an exam confirmation package. AWS cannot guarantee space at an exam site if the application has not been received in a timely manner and has not been processed and/or approved by the Certification Department. When circumstances do not permit meeting the registration deadlines, fast track processing is available at an additional fee. Please contact the Certification Department regarding this procedure and its fees. We recommend using priority mail with tracking options when mailing your application. If you choose to apply, please send your application package to:
American Welding Society Certification Department 550 NW LeJeune Road Miami, Florida 33126
PLEASE RETAIN A COPY OF ALL DOCUMENTS MAILED TO AWS.
All checks and money orders should be made payable to AWS. Payments must accompany your application. If you have questions, give us a call at (800) 443-9353 see below for the extensions.
