CWI Part B with Replica Set and Tools

Overview of the CWI Part B Course Material

The Atlas exam prep course for the AWS CWI Part B exam is designed to help you pass the Part B Practical portion of the exam. We are so confident in our comprehensive curriculum that we offer the course for free for anyone who does not pass on their first attempt using our course. The fee for the Part B online course is $399.

Our online CWI Part A, B, and C courses are AWS approved for 20 hours each and you can accumulate a total of 60 hours if you take all three parts. AWS accepts these hours for either re-testing purposes or as professional development hours towards a 9-year renewal. If you are taking the Part B only and you need a certificate to show the training, this course will provide the 20 training hours for the AWS. 

The CWI Part B course is designed to prepare you for the AWS exam by using narrated lessons, practice quizzes, audio flashcards, timed practice exams - and unique to the Part B - Weld Replicas. Our unique online system sets us apart from other CWI training courses. 

The online system is both convenient and economical. We are so confident in our comprehensive curriculum that we offer the course for free for anyone who does not pass on their first attempt using our course.

Please Note the Following:

Our goal at Atlas is to provide you the necessary tools to pass the AWS CWI certification exam the very first time you try. Many of our students have considered themselves more hands-on when it comes to training courses. After taking our online training courses, these students have discovered that not only is online training a more economical way to prepare for a certification exam, but that online training is just a better way to learn the material. With the online training course, the student can start and stop whenever he/she may want. Students may also progress at their own pace, repeat material when needed, and use the interactive quizzes to train. This is by far the easiest way to study. The Atlas 48 hour money back guarantee means that you can check out the course with zero risks. If you are not happy with your purchase, we will gladly refund your money with no questions asked.

RECERTIFICATION

A Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) needs to complete 80 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) of courses, seminars, or online courses to maintain their certification. These courses must meet the requirements of AWS Specification for the Certification of Welding Inspectors (AWS QC1:2016-AMD1) and cover subjects defined in the Education and Experience Requirements of AWS Specification for the Qualification of Welding Inspectors (AWS B5.1:2013-AMD1).

Add One Endorsement:

A CWI can pursue adding an endorsement to their certification. Successful completion (passing exam score) will meet the requirements for CWI recertification. A CWI can pursue the endorsement option up to (11) months prior to the current CWI certification expiration date. A CWI must choose one of the endorsements from the list below. Endorsements require passing an exam. The following courses are eligible for endorsement:

AWS D1.1 Structural Steel 

AWS D1.5 Bridge Welding (Coming Soon)

AWS D15.1 Railroad (Coming Soon)

AWS D17.1 Aerospace

API 1104 Pipelines

Structural Bolting Inspection

Important Note: AWS QC1:2016-AMD1 defines endorsement as an added skill in one's certification credentials. Pursuing an endorsement during 9-year recertification requires a different code book than the one used for current active CWI certification.

ENDORSEMENTS OR CERTIFICATIONS ACHIEVED PRIOR TO 9-YEAR RECERTIFICATION:

Endorsements: A CWI who has previously taken and passed one or more endorsement exams prior to the 9-year cycle may apply for recertification without having to meet further examination, professional development hour, or seminar requirements.

9-Year Recertification Course: As an alternative to the previous permitted options, a CWI can register and successfully complete the AWS 9-Year Recertification Course. The successful completion of the course meets the requirements for CWI recertification.
