Pathways
Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ Pathways
Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ pathways identify specific micro-credentials that support knowledge and skill sets critical to prepare and qualify for theÂ
Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 Welding Inspector certification exams. Individuals may complete the courses in any order and at their own pace.
Successful completion of the course material and course examinations provides exemption from writing the closed book CSA W178.2 certification examination on the fundamental principles and practices of welding, quality control, and welding inspection, resulting in the candidate only needing to complete the two code exams and the Practical Exam for CSA Level 1 Inspector.
Íâ¹úÃÀŮɫÇéƬ Pathways
Visual Welding Inspector Level 1
This pathway is designed for candidates who want to increase their knowledge of metallurgy, inspection and testing techniques.
Visual Welding Inspector Level 2
This pathway is designed for Level 1 Welding Inspectors who want to further increase their knowledge of inspection and testing techniques.
Recognized Pathways
Upgrade your knowledge with recognized pathways. Each pathway identifies complimentary courses that builds toward improving in your current job or expanding your horizons to a new one.
Recognized pathways and courses are perfect for those looking for an introduction to a certain subject, or looking to expand on basic skills.
Recognized Pathways
Metallurgy Certificate Pathway
This pathway progressively builds on the concepts of welding metallurgy and successful completion of all four courses provides recognition of a metallurgy certificate of completion.
Inspection Basics Pathway
This pathway involves understanding specifications, weld faults, and the functions of an inspector to help industry avoid repairs and costly project delays.
Destructive and Non-Destructive Testing Pathway
This pathway covers inspection techniques used to pro-actively identify faults that could lead to product failure and or public or environmental safety.
Welding Fundamentals Pathway
This pathway provides a basic understanding of various arc welding processes as well as the power sources and consumables involved with them.
