ASME Section VIII, Division 1 and ASME Section IX Code Exam Preparation for CSA W178.2

Online Course with e-Instructor Support

Objectives

To prepare exam candidates to write the ASME Section VIII-Div. 1 and IX code endorsement (Standard/Code) exam for CSA W178.2 Welding Inspectors (Level 1, 2, and 3).

Why Should I Attend

CSA W178.2 limits inspectors to work within their specific code endorsement certifications. 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.

Who Should Attend

Exam candidates who are preparing for their CSA W178.2 welding inspector certification exam or certified CSA W178.2 welding inspectors who want to obtain an additional code endorsement certification. Note: The examination is administered by the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB). All exam candidates must apply directly with CWB to write the exam.
