An ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Standard - NABL Accreditation Certified Organization.
 
AWS - TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION PROCESS
 
Though the welders can take this test directly without any training, TWG GROUP Research & Training division strongly recommends that the Welder go through a 3-day training program on Weld fundamentals, Interpreting and Understanding WPS, Safety procedures and understanding the process of AWS evaluation and Certification.

On the end of the training, and on the test day the Welder will be guided to choose a WPS and go through the welding process on the supervision of an AWS certified Welding Inspector. On the end of the welding process, the weld specimen shall be subjected to various tests as per WPS and results shall be declared within a week. The Certification and Welder Card will be shipped from AWS USA for the successful welders, in about three weeks from the time of test.
