Welder Qualification & Certification
Need to qualify your employees—or wondering how to become a “certified welder”?
WeldTight works with employers and individual welders to provide welder qualification testing, preparation, and documentation based on applicable requirements.
How long does it take to get qualified?
There isn't one set timeline. It depends on your current skill level, the welding process and position being tested, and how much time you spend practicing. An experienced welder may be ready to test quickly, while a newer welder may need additional instruction and practice first.
Does taking a welding class make me certified?
No. Welding instruction helps you develop your skills. Welder qualification testing demonstrates your ability to produce an acceptable weld under specific test conditions and requirements.
Not sure what test you need?
That's common. If an employer or contractor has told you that you need to be “certified,” bring us the requirements you've been given. WeldTight can help determine what qualification you need and whether you're ready to test.
Need more practice before testing?
WeldTight also provides individualized instruction and test preparation. How quickly you progress depends heavily on practice. Welding is a hands-on skill, and time under the hood matters.
