WTIA OzWeld-Certification, in conjunction with IIW, has developed programmes to recognise individuals’ prior learning and experience for them to gain entry to IIW Qualification and Certification programmes and avoid undertaking all the required training in the Standard Route. Minimum entrance requirements (access conditions) must be met and evidence must be submitted to support prior learning.

Alternative route programmes have been developed, or are under development for:

1. International Welding Inspector Comprehensive (incorporating WTIA Certified Comprehensive Welding Inspector (CCWI))
2. International Welding Inspector Standard (incorporating WTIA Certified Senior Welding Inspector (CSWI))
3. International Welding Inspector Basic (incorporating WTIA Certified Welding Inspector (CWI))
