Online Course with e-Instructor Support
Objectives
To prepare exam candidates to write the ASME B31.3 code endorsement (Standard/Code) exam for CSA W178.2 Welding Inspectors (Level 1, 2, and 3).
Why Should I Attend

Additional code endorsements strengthen professional credentials and allows additional job opportunities by widening the inspector's scope of qualification. CASTI is the only trainer that offers online exam preparation for ASME code endorsements.
