There are several online software tools for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the tool you use produces a photo that meets AWS specifications.
AWS-CWI Renewals/Recertification – Change of Appearance
If you cannot be identified from your current photo on file with American Welding Society, you should submit a new photo with your renewal or re-certification application.
Examination results will NOT be released until we receive the 2 x 2-inch colour passport – style photograph. To avoid delays in receiving your examination results, please mail your photo to the address listed below:
RENEWAL For CWI’s and SCWI’s (3 and 6-year cycles):
The renewal process is an important part of maintaining your certification. Senior Certified Welding Inspector SCWI’s and Certified Welding Inspector CWI’s maintain their certification by submitting an approved renewal application to the Certification Department. The application must be submitted at least 60 days prior to the expiration date of the current certification and no earlier than 11 months prior to the expiration date of that certification.
To qualify for renewal, the Certified Welding Inspector CWI or Senior Certified Welding Inspector SCWI shall attest to having no period of continuous inactivity greater than two years during the previous three years of certification in activities described in AWS B5.1. This work experience must be documented in the Qualifying Work Experience section of the application. Resumes are not accepted.
A 60-day administrative extension period is allowed. During this time, certification will be considered as expired. Renewals submitted after the administrative 60-day grace period but within one year of expiration may be accepted for renewal; however, administrative late fees may apply. If all renewal requirements have been met, certification will be reactivated.
AWS may send a renewal notice, but if not received, it remains the responsibility of the Senior Certified Welding Inspector SCWI or Certified Welding Inspector CWI to renew on time.
For further information concerning the Certified Welding Inspector CWI or Senior Certified Welding Inspector SCWI certification renewal, please refer to AWS QC1.
RE-CERTIFICATION For AWS CWI and SCWI
As an American Welding Society Certified Welding Inspector, you must renew your certification every three years. Every nine years, you must re-certify, by one of the options indicated below. An approved 9-year recertification application must be in the American Welding Society Certification Department at least 60 days prior to the expiration date of the current certification and no earlier than (11) months prior to the expiration date of the current certification.
A 60-day administrative extension period is allowed. During this time, certification will be considered as expired. If the paperwork is received on time and all renewal or re-certification requirements have been met, certification will be reactivated.
9-Year Recertification by Part B Practical Exam:The two-hour Part B Practical Exam will evaluate you in the practical aspects of weld inspection and establish that your skills are current. It is to your advantage to be familiar with the various measurement tools used for testing as described in the American Welding Society Applicant Instructions. You should review a variety of weldments that show various levels of porosity and undercut. Be prepared to interpret and inspect bend, t-joint, groove, and pipe weld samples.
9-Year Recertification by Endorsement:You can take an endorsement exam to recertify. You can apply for this option up to (11) months prior to your expiration date. Passing one of these exams meets the requirements for re-certification. Endorsements require passing a two-hour exam on one of the following:
AWS D1.1 Structural Steel
AWS D1.2 Structural Aluminum
AWS D1.5 Bridges
AWS D15.1 Railroad
AWS D17.1 Aerospace
API 1104 Pipelines
ASME Section IX, B31.1 and B31.3 Boiler & Pressure Vessel
All endorsement exams (with the exception of Structural Drawing Reading) will be offered all over India in convenient locations using computer-based testing with our partners at Prometric. After your application has been submitted to American Welding Society and approved, you will be provided with an Authorization to Test (ATT) letter in order to schedule your appointment through Prometric at one of their centres. Prometric session fees will apply at the time you schedule your appointment.
Important Note: American Welding Society QC1 defines endorsements as “Indication of an additional skill documented in writing and added to one’s certification credential(s)”. In fulfilling the 9-year re-certification requirement, endorsements cannot be taken to the code-book to which your Certified Welding Inspector certification was attained.
9-Year Recertification by Accumulated Continuing Education:If you have kept yourself up to date in the inspection profession by attending classes and seminars related to welding, your education requirements may be satisfied. You need 80 contact hours (PDHs) of seminars, courses or online courses such as those found through American Welding Online (awo.aws.org) that meet the requirements of QC1 Section 16.
The course content must be in one or more of the subject areas as defined in the Education and Experience Requirements of the B5.1, Specification for the Qualification of Welding Inspectors Section 5.
Endorsements or Certifications Achieved Prior to 9-Year Re-certification:
Endorsements: Certified Welding Inspectors who have previously taken and passed one or more endorsement exams prior to the nine-year cycle may apply for re-certification without having to meet further examination, professional development hour, or seminar requirements.
Certified Radio-graphic Interpreter: At any time during your nine-year cycle, if you meet the prerequisites, you can apply to become certified as an American Welding Society Certified Radio-graphic Interpreter (CRI). This is a valuable certification that fulfils your nine-year requirement.
9-Year Recertification Course:If your certification expires within the next seven (11) months and you aren’t going to recertify through examination or haven’t accumulated 80 PDHs in the past nine years, the American Welding Society 9-year re-certification course is for you. Upon completion of the course, you will receive an American Welding Society Certificate of Completion for the course. Your new wallet card, certificate, and stamp will be mailed to you. Your certification number and renewal month will not change.
Note: DO NOT mail the full 9 yr Re-certification application if completing the online registration.
DID YOU KNOW…
Certified Welding Inspector applicants in their ninth year of certification who qualify and wish to earn a Senior Certified Welding Inspector SCWI can apply for both SCWI and Certified Welding Inspector 9 YR Recertification. If taking either the endorsement or Part B option for Certified Welding Inspector 9 YR re-certification, both the Senior Certified Welding Inspector and Certified Welding Inspector 9 YR exam can be taken at the same exam location.
