Certified Welding Inspector (Level 2)

Program Overview

WHAT IS THE UNIQUENESS OF TUV / IICS 3.1 CWI?

PRACTICAL APPROACH, which fulfils the industrial requirements on Welding Engineering & Inspection.

• Approximately 90% of pressure vessel, boiler, storage tank & piping projects in Middle East & Asia Pacific are based on American design, fabrication & inspection approach such as API, ASME or AWS codes & standards.
• Designed to equip inspectors & QC personnel with the required knowledge & expertise of welding processes & metallurgy, inspection & testing and certification of procedures, welders & welding operators according to those international codes & standards.
