AWS CWI/SCWI Part C - API 1104 Code Endorsement Exam Preparation
Online Course with e-Instructor Support
IMPORTANT: All exam candidates must apply directly to the American Welding Society (AWS) to write the examination. This training course helps candidates prepare for the Part C code endorsement exam only.
Note: At the time of this writing, the AWS examination references the 21st edition of API Standard 1104. The exam code edition is beyond the control of CASTI and may change without notice so it is strongly advised that you contact AWS to confirm the correct code editions for your AWS exam.
Why Should I Attend
Additional code endorsements strengthen professional credentials and creates more job opportunities by widening the inspector's scope of qualification.
Objectives
To prepare participants to write the API 1104 code endorsement exam for AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) and Senior Certified Welding Inspector (SCWI) certifications.
Accreditation
Each participant will receive a digital CASTI Certificate of Completion with 8 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for completing all online lessons and practice exams.
Who Should Attend
Participants who want to obtain the AWS CWI certification or supplement their AWS CWI and SCWI inspection credentials.
This course will also assist active AWS CWI and SCWI certification holders who intend to pursue reciprocity towards a CSA W178.2 Welding Inspector certification. AWS inspectors should be aware that CSA W178.2 limits inspectors to work within their specific code endorsement certifications. However, code endorsements under your AWS certification will also be recognized for reciprocity.
For information regarding the AWS-CSA reciprocity for welding inspector certification, please visit AWS Certified Welding Inspector career path page for more details.
