and become registered

with the American Welding Society.

The AWS is an organization that has gained

worldwide recognition for its dedication to the sci-

ence, technology and application of welding.

In a Nutshell

...

You qualify as a Certified Welding Educator (CWE)

if you meet the minimum requirements

of

AWS

QC5, Standard for Qualificationand Certificationof

Welding Educators.

Certification requires welding experience, comple-

tion of the instructional methods requirements of

the employing institution, welding knowledge,

proof of welding skills as welder qualifications,

and an evaluation by the employing institution of

your teaching skills.

Once certified your name willbe registered at AWS

headquarters.

You

will receive a certificate and

wallet card documenting your qualifications.

Certification

or

recertification cost is tax deduct-

ible.

Recertification is required every four years.

Certif cat on

Questions and Answers

General

Wby become an AWS certajed Welding Educa-

tor?

Many employed welding personnel can measure

themselves against standards for their occupation, but

unfortunately they cannot provide documentation.

The Welding Educator Standard can provide docu-

mentation

of

the qualification and provide a profes-

sional level not available in the past.

Does AWS certifiiation signa3 anything else?

Yes. It signifies that the certified educator has the

capability of working with various codes, standards

and specifications. Since proof

of

active practice o r

reexamination is required every four years, certifica-

tion also signifies that the CWE is current with the

welding industry.

Wby was

t

dea*ded o initiate theprogram with

the Welding Educator?

The

welding educators of the U.S.A. have had limited

programs available

to

document qualifications. This

program provides evaluation and

if

acceptable, docu-

mentation of your welding experience, instructional

training methods, welding knowledge, welding skills

and teaching ability.

Has a standard o r certajcation of the welding

educator been established?

Yes. The Standard for Qualification and Certification

of

Welding Educators, AWS QC5, is the document.

Will this certijcation take the piace of other

agency requirements o r welding educators?

N o .

It

is not the intent

of

AWS

to

replace the local

or

state requirements of other agencies but

to

provide a

Standard which may be used to help meet those

requirements.

Wbo

established the standards fo r a Welding

Educator?

The AWS Qualification and Certification Committee

which

is

authorized by the Board

of

Directorsof the

American Welding Society. The committee is com-

posed

of

members that represent a geographic cross

section of leaders in the welding industry from the

United States and Canada.

Will AWS establish a working agreement with

other agendes or organizations in granting

certajkations?

Yes. AWS has established such agreements.

Will be required to take adkitwnul courses to

maintain my AWS certijkation?

The

CWE

must document

two

ears

of

activity in each

four-year certification period. The two-year activity

requirement may be reduced to one year by satisfac-

torily completing a Q C Committee approved course

given by the AWS Education Department.

Will this program be avaihble o r both public

and private fmilities?

Yes.

Will this certimation program help my institu-

tion provide better training?

Yes.The public looks

for

the best qualified institution

with the most qualified instructors.

Are the results of the quaiajcatwn examination

made public

by

A WS?

N o . However, if you become certified, you will be

registered by AWS and maintained on the list of

Certified Welding Educators. You alone will be

notified

if

you fail, and any reference by AWS to that

fact, from any inquiry, will be that you are not certified

by AWS.

The

QC

Standard states that verbal requests

fo r verijication

of

status and certaJZcationnum-

bers of

CWEs

shall be provided If

I

am no

longer currently cert fi4will

A

WS release that

information?

AWS will release only your certification number, date

certified, and current status (expired, revoked, etc.).

Does passing or failing the examination have

any bearing

on

the candidates status as a

society member?

NO.

What to Expect on Examination Day

The

examination

will

be conducted by authorized

representatives

of

AWS.

The examination is in

two

pans, two full hours is

allowed for each part.

PART

A, FUNDAMENTALS,

is a closed book test. PART B, PRACTICAL, is also

a closed

book

test which is augmented with a book

of specifications.

The questions in the Practical Test involve the

mixed use

of

measuring

tools,

weld replicas, NDT

slides and a book

of

specifications. When a

candidate receives the letter

of

acceptance

to

sit for

the examination, a book

of

specificationswill be

enclosed for study purposes.

It is to the candidates advantage to be familiar with

fillet weld and butt weld gauges, micrometers and

dial calipers. All these instruments will be provided

in the test kit

on

examination day.

All questions will be of the multiple choice type.

Some basic arithmetic will be required during the

examination. It

is

recommended that you bring a

self-powered, noiseless calculator that does not

have metric conversion capabilities. All required

formulas will

be

provided for metric conversions.

Exchange of reference material or conversation

during any segment

of

the examination will not be

permitted.

On the back of each test booklet is a challenged

question form. This form allows you the oppomi-

nity

to

challenge any question you

feel

is unfair or

cannot be answered. You will receive a response

ONLY

if

a question you challenged is disqualified.

As you complete each

test,

you must certify that

you understood the test instructions, that you

neither gave nor received help on the test, and that

you saw the authorized test supervisor/proctor

seal the envelope containing your test booklet and

answer sheet.

Notes on the Examination

Although each test has a different purpose, all are practical in that they cover basic knowledge or operating

principlesof methods, materials, processes, procedures, and equipment that apply to fabrication and inspection

of

weldments. Typical questions and answers for each part are shown in the section

on

SampleQuestions.
