National Welding Certification Program

The Ironworker’s National Welding Certification Program continues to increase in size and productivity. We now have 63 accredited training and testing facilities located throughout the United States. Now is the time to push forward and get as many of our Ironworkers certified in the National Welding Certification Program as possible. With the amount of new and refurbished fossil burning power plants and nuclear facilities on the horizon it’s everyone’s responsibility to make sure we have the trained work force needed to man these jobs. More and more of our signatory employers are realizing the credibility and significance of our highly regarded welding certification program. It’s a cooperative effort between the Ironworker’s International and the American Welding Society and has become a standard for others to reach.

 
In an effort in increase the efficiency of the program and to speed up the turn-around time needed to process the welder’s certification cards we have developed a web-based processing system. This new database system is now being used by each Ironworker’s Accredited Testing Facility and allows easy access for each site to upload the qualification record and WPQR. This enables us to process the certification cards in a much timelier manner and get them in the hands of our Ironworkers. 
 
IMPACT covers the costs of each certification thus eliminating the out of pocket expense to our members. If you have any questions regarding the welding program or any other training issues please contact General Organizer Ed Abbott in the Apprenticeship & Training office at 202 383-4802.
