American Welding Society Certified Welder Testing

Western Dakota Technical College is now an American Welding Society (AWS) Accredited Testing Facility. This accreditation allows WDTC to administer qualification testing to comply with the AWS Certified Welder Program.

To become an AWS Certified Welder, the qualification tests must be administered by an AWS ATF.

To become an AWS ATF, the facility must create and comply with a quality assurance program, which meets the high standards of quality as set forth by the AWS. This includes quality controls for base metals and consumables, welding and test equipment, personnel, welding procedures, and the testing processes.

All full time students enrolled in the WDTC Welding and Fabrication program take welder qualification tests, and may earn AWS Welder Certifications as a part of the curriculum. WDTC is also offering welder qualification testing to outside applicants.

WDTC is offering a selection of welding standard tests for the public/outside applicants that are commonly utilized by local industry.
