This course is designed for Level 1 Welding Inspectors who want to further increase their knowledge of inspection and testing techniques.
The in-class presentations are based on the CWB Level 2 Textbooks.
Participants are required to have access to a device to complete course content and exams online during the course.
To advance your career even further and potentially increase your earnings, most course candidates are eligible to take the next step of applying for certification to become a certified Level 2 welding inspector, in conjunction with attending the course. CSA Standard W178.2 requires candidates have 2 years of visual welding inspection experience as a certified Level 1 Welding Inspector before they are eligible to upgrade to Level 2.
Should candidates wish to pursue this route, the Welding Inspector Application Form (CWB Form 450) and Visual Acuity Form (CWB Form 455) must be completed, submitted, and approved prior to the course start date. All information regarding the certification process is outlined in our Welding Inspector Application Guide (Form 301). The application fee is not included in the course registration fee.
The opportunity to complete all 11 chapter exams and the final practice exam required to obtain the "Special Program for Welding Inspectors – Level 2" certificate is available during the course. Successful completion of the course examinations will allow you to write a shorter version of the Level 2 "closed book" theory examination on Welding Fundamentals and Welding Inspection, in addition to the Practical Exam. (All certification examinations must be completed within 2 years of the application approval date).
Welding Inspector certification exams will be available for completion on the next day immediately following courses offered in our Milton and Nisku locations ONLY.
If you are taking a course but not at one of the two locations mentioned above, please contact our Call Centre at info@tescan.ca for further information on additional exam locations, or if you have questions pertaining to the application process.
