|
| 11 | What are opportunities for further career development? |
WTIA has developed and implemented a series of training courses and qualifications/certifications to help Welding Supervisors follow rewarding career paths (i) International Welding Specialist (IWS) – Responsible Welding Coordinator The old way of thinking in Australia was for companies to have a welding supervisor with AS 1796 Certificate No. 10 Pressure Equipment or AS 2214 Structural Steel, as their highest qualified person in welding. With true globalisation, the world has moved on and now companies across the globe and in Australia are requiring qualified and experienced International Welding Engineers, Technologists and Specialists as their Responsible Welding Coordinator (RWC). If you have undertaken training for the Welding Supervisor at a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) (or obtained a Welding Supervisor certificate in Australia or even overseas) you may be eligible to attend the International Welding Specialist (IWS) course (minimum 120 hours with exemptions)
(ii) International Welding Inspector Standard (IWI S) Level – WTIA Certified Senior Welding Inspector (CSWI) WTIA AS 2214 Welding Supervisors will be exempted from the IWI S Welding Technology examination since they have covered this in their WTIA AS 2214 Welding Supervisor examination. Contact the WTIA OzWeld School of Welding Technology on events@wtia.com.au or via the website for further training information.
