To Become an AWS Certified

Welding Educator
1. Fill out the application according to the instruc-
tions on pages 4 & 5. Then, mail it with a check or
money order to the Q & C Department at AWS
headquarters. Experience has shown that mail
takes from 5 to 6 days to reach AWS, so DO NOT
DELAY. Your application must be postmarked by
the 5th Monday preceding a scheduled examina-
tion.
2. After your application is received, you will receive
the following:
(i) Invoice confirming examination fee.
( 2 ) Notification of acceptance or rejection. If ac-
cepted a “Book of Specifications” will be
included with your letter. Please contact us if
you have not heard from the Q&C Department
within 3 weeks of mailing an application to us.
(3) Approximately 3 weeks prior to test date you
will receive test location, schedule and instmc-
tions.
3. If you pass both parts of the examinations, you will
be registered and receive your certificate and
wallet card.
4. If you fail the examination, (after a 3 month waiting
period) you may retake it within one year of the
first test at the current retest fee. However, if you
fail to reschedule during that period, you must
submit a new application and pay all fees again.
5. Applicants must have fulfilled the job experience
requirements at the time the application is submit-
ted.
Applications must be postmarked by the 5th
MONDAY PRECEDING EACH TEST DATE.

Certif¡cation
Questions and Answers
General
Wby become an AWS certajãed 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 or
reexamination is required every four years, certifica-
tion also signifies that the CWE is current with the
welding industry.
Wby was it dea*dedto 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 standardf o r certajãcation of the welding
educator been established?
Yes. The Standard for Qualification and Certification
of Welding Educators, AWS QC5, is the document.
Will this certijãcation take the piace of other
agency requirementsf 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.
W b o established the standards f o r a Welding
Educator?
The AWS Qualification and Certification Committee
which is authorized by the Board of Directors of the
American Welding Society. The committee is com-
posed of members that represent a geographic cross
1

m 0 7 8 4 2 b 5 0502837 911
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.
WillI be required to take adkîitwnul courses to
maintain my AWS certijkation?
The CWE must document two years 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&CCommittee approved course
given by the AWS Education Department.
Will this program be avaihblef 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 quaiajãcatwn 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 QC5 Standard states that verbal requests
f o r verijication of status and certaJZcationnum-
bers of CWE’s shall be provided If I am no
longer currently cert#fiì4will 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 candidate’s status as a
society member?
NO.
 AWS QC+5G 92
WiUIreceivea refundaymy appltcation does not
quahB me to take the examination?
Yes. AWS will deduct the current processing fee and
refund the balance. You will receive your returned
application and a written explanation of your rejec-
tion. The refund will follow in approximately 30 days.
Changes or Cancellations
If I am scheduled to take the exam in the city of
my choice, can my selection be changed?
Only if AWS cancels the exam site. You would then
be registered to your second or third alternate choice.
If you have not indicated alternate sites on your
application, AWS will deduct the current processing
fee and refund the balance.
If I am scheduled to take the exam and do not
show up, wiU I receive a refund?
No. You will forfeit all fees as a “no-show”.You must
contact the Q&C Department before the 4th Monday
preceding the exam date to change test sites with no
penalty fee (processing fee will be charged for
cancellations). If you CHANGE test sites after that
date, you will be charged the current penalty fee. If
you CANCEL test sites after that date, you will be
charged additional penalties.
Certification Requirements
What are the quahiation requirements f o r
certa@ìcation?
The principle requirements -experience, successful
completion of a two-part closed book examination,
a teaching skill evaluation from your immediate

administrative superior - are described along with
the prerequisite education and welding experience as
described in Sections 5 and 6 of the QC5 Standard.
Can aperson become certijZed u n í &a- “Grand-
father Clause3
No. Only those who meet the current qualification
requirements of QC5 will be certified.
Common Questions about the examination
WhenwiU I know how I did on the examination?
Within two months of the examination you will
receive an official Exam Score Report. It will give the
passing score and your raw score on each part of the
examination, plus your raw score on each subtopic.
This will permit remedial study in any weak areas. For
your privacy, examination scores will not be dis-
cussed over the telephone.
If you have passed and met all other requirements,
you will receive a 2” X 3”pocket work card and a wall
certificate showing your certification as a welding
educator along with your score report.
Is it possible to take the examination at a time
andplace daxermt than those of the nationwide
examination?
Yes. Special examinations may also be arranged for
dates and places other than those regularly scheduled
by AWS: more detailed information is given on page
3 of this booklet.
If I fail cmíy one part of the examination do I
have to retake the entire examination?
Yes. In order to become certified, the Standard states
that you must pass both parts of the examination.

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 specifications”will be
enclosed for study purposes.
It is to the candidate’sadvantage to be familiar with
fillet weld and butt weld gauges, micrometersand
dial calipers. All these instruments will be provided
in the test kit on examination day.
All questions will be of the multiple choice type.
Notes on the Examination
Although each test has a different purpose, all are practical in that they cover basic knowledge or operating
principles of 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.”
