The Ironworkers/AWS National Welding Certification Program is a highly respected and National recognized program. The program is a partnership with the American Welding Society and provides an unparalleled standard of excellence for welder training, qualification, and certification. The benefits for our members, signatory employers, and owners are significant. Our certifications provide portability; the ownership is with the Ironworker welder and allows him/her to weld from the Atlantic to the Pacific eliminating the need for requalification. This saves time and provides a huge cost savings.
With economic growth, the rebuilding of this Country’s infrastructure, and the amount of power plants being built and refurbished, the Ironworkers are training and testing our members to meet the demands of the industry. We are committed to providing the skilled Union Ironworker welders needed to not only get the job done right but, done right the first time.
Our welding certification program database operates as an on-line, web based system. This system eliminates the need for never ending paper work and instead offers a fast, efficient method for the transfer of information. This shortens the waiting period needed for our members to get their certification card in hand and access the jobsite. The system also offers our employers a quick-check method for verification of all qualifications/certifications issued through the National Training Fund Office.
IMPACT contributions fund the costs for each certification so there are no out-of-pocket costs to our members. If you’re interested in becoming an Ironworker or if you have any questions about the welding certification program please contact General Organizer Ed Abbott in the Apprenticeship and Training Department Office at 202 383-4802.
