Hi all!
Well today I turned in my completed forms for the CWI/CWE test. In June, I will be heading to Pittsburgh, PA, to complete the training and exam.
The steps to get this done included:
1) Download and Print off forms.
2) Read/Fill out forms
3) Track down the certifications I have got and make copies.
4) Get a passport ID Photo.
5) Get an eye exam.
6) Have supervisor complete his/her part of forms.
7) Sign papers in front of a notary.
8) Submit forms with payment to the AWS and hope mail gets there in time to meet the deadline.
Now the waiting game begins, wait to make sure they received my packet, make sure everything was properly filled out. Then lastly wait to be sure the training had enough interest to run the training.
Then I need to get my hotel booked!
It will sure be a long week, not a vacation at all!
Well, that's where the journey has taken me for this so far, I will keep you updated!
I also became a member of the AWS today! It helps if you are going for the Exam.
Next time I will talk about the Metal Transfers!
So until next time,
Happy Welding Everyone!

I'm Back!
Hi All! I'm Back!!!
Sorry to be gone so long, didn't realize it had been that long. Time sure does fly by...
Anyways back to Welding!
I'm now working at 2 colleges teaching Welding Labs and Theory classes along with Codes and Procedures.
I am planning to get my CWI soon, possibly in June. CWI stands for a Certified Welding Inspector.
This will allow me to be able to test welders at our college and out in the field as well. Will keep you posted on how that is going. It is a lot of paperwork, an eye dr. apt. and a week class with testing on a Saturday. It's also pricey as well, but is also rewarding when you have it. Like I said will keep you posted on the journey.
Well class at 6pm tonight we are looking at the AWS D1.1 code and filling out WPS, and WPQR. In my 8pm class tonight we are learning about the theory of GMAW and the Metal Transfers. Now there is a topic for next post!
Better get to class!
Happy Welding Everyone!
