As per AWS QC1, participants must have 5 plus year experience in welding related disciplines. This requirement is relaxed based on specific guidelines.

Why this course by AEIS?

The AWS CWI preparatory course by AEIS is held over eight (8) Saturdays. The 2 month schedule permits the participants to digest the enormous amount of information and apply the new knowledge in the field during the course of the training program. The aim is to ensure that all participants have a very high probability of passing the AWS-CWI exam. Throughout the sessions, practice quizzes are given to assess the comprehension of the training course and enhance the participants’ test taking skills. Participants practice on both real flaws in steel samples and flaws in plastic replicas as given in the CWI exam. The Practice CWI Exam on the last Saturday prepares the candidates for the actual exam.
