Welding Certification test Q&A and tips and tricks
Thanks for the info Weldingt. I did see your facility on the AWS listing. As mentioned I called 2 that were 3 hours away, and they have not called back. For what I want to do, there is value in AWS certification. But, before I drive 6 hours one way and plop down $550, I need to be sure I can pass. I am going to order test coupons from a company that will test the coupons. Once I pass an unofficial test in my shop, then I will get the AWS. If I don't hear back from the 2 sites in Alabama, I will certainly be contact with you.

Any chance of finding an AWS site on the Texas end of your travels? Is Shreveport on the way, if you're driving? This is an AWS test site in Shreveport- info clipped from an AWS list:bosulli wrote:Just moved back from TX. Sill going back and forth.

Thanks Artie. Saw that one in the listing. if I drive from parent's place in MS then I do go thru Shreveport. If i drive from Memphis, I dont. It could work out, as its a good place to spend the night. I will call them, and see if I get a return call.

Plate test at this facility will cost you $150 in any position.
Not true. Per AWS D1.1, Table 4.10 if you take your test in the 4G position you are only qualified to weld in the flat and horizontal position in grooves and flat, horizontal and overhead in fillets. To be qualified in all positions you will need to take a 3G and a 4G test.
