Once a member is ready, they may schedule a welding test with one of the Training Center CWI’s.  We have 3 Certified Welding Inspectors on site.  

Approximately 4 times each year, the Training Center, will offer a group weld test.  Local contractor’s CWIs are invited to this test, so they can approve of a welder for their company.
