Hey everyone,
This is my first time here, and I hope I am posting this in the right forum. I have asked this in a few other forums too, and I hope I can find some answers here. I am having doubts about what it means to be a certified welder. I thought of starting a small welding business and would like to get certified in welding. I did some research online, and asked a welding instructor, what a welding certification was. He explained a few welding coursers I could get certified in and told me that I could get certified in specific processes, at a particular position, on a certain thickness, etc. I searched through the AWS and CWB website and found that if I get certified, I can be a certified welding inspector and a few other things. Still, I couldn't find anything specifically about being a certified welder. I can't quite figure out what I'm missing.
Could you guys help me out here? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
