CERTIFICATION, ENDORSEMENT, AND ACCREDITATION PROGRAMS
APPROVED TESTING CENTER (ATC)
The ATC program was designed to complement the AWS Certified Robotic Arc Welding (CRAW) program by offering companies with robotic arc
welding equipment the opportunity to test Certified Welding Inspectors (CWI) and Welders for the CRAW Operator and CRAW Technician certifications
at their facility.
There are currently no up-front application fees for the ATC program; however, ATC applicants are responsible for auditor’s fees and travel expenses.
CERTIFIED WELDING FABRICATOR (CWF)
The Certified Welding Fabricator (CWF) program recognizes companies that have the resources, procedures, and personnel to apply a quality
management system to their welding fabrication activities. An appropriate welding quality system is the foundation of delivering a quality
welded product or service. When designed for the welding fabricator’s unique products and suitably committed to paper and practice, the daily
manufacturing operations of the welding fabricator are more consistent and traceable when problems arise. This program is an affordable
alternative or complement to ISO, AISC, NADCAP, and ASME quality certification.

of SENSE: Level I—Entry Welder and Level II—Advanced Welder. Both levels are designed to facilitate the
implementation of a modular welder training program based on best practices. The program is governed by a
set of standards: QC10, EG2.0, and EG2.0 Supplement for Level I—Entry Welder and QC11, EG3.0, and EG3.0
Supplement for Level II.

completion certificate from AWS. An AWS SENSE Entry Welder is an individual who has achieved full or
partial completion status by successfully completing compulsory and optional modules in accordance with
the requirements of SENSE Level I—Entry Welder. An AWS SENSE Advanced Welder is an individual who
has achieved full or partial completion status by successfully completing compulsory and optional modules
in accordance with the requirements of SENSE Level I—Entry Welder and AWS SENSE Level II—Advanced
Welder. AWS SENSE Entry Welder and Advanced Welder should not be confused with AWS Certified Welder.

Best Practices for Performing a Welder Qualification Test
The purpose of this technical manual is to define the best practices for qualification testing of welders. This
manual is designed as a high-level reference guide, meaning it is purposely generic in order to facilitate
qualification testing done to a variety of qualification standards and influenced by the needs of employers
and individual welders. Due to the generic nature of this manual, the qualifier (person administering the test)
cannot rely only on this content when conducting welder qualification testing. This manual is a crucial tool,
but qualifiers will also need the applicable qualification standard and a WPS appropriate for the test being
conducted, as well as any other resources relevant to the process.
This manual is divided into sections based on the three phases of welder performance qualification testing:
Pre-Test Investigation, Conducting the Test, and Post-Test Activities. Further resources are included in the
appendices, including sample documents the qualifier is encouraged to customize to their own needs and
integrate into their regular procedures.

Development and qualification of welding procedures can be time-consuming and expensive.
AWS publishes Standard Welding Procedure Specifications (SWPSs), which are reviewed and validated by the Welding Procedures Committee of the
Welding Research Council. They are balloted through the AWS standards-development program as American National Standards. Standard Welding
Procedure Specifications may be used on work covered by the AWS D1.1, Structural Welding Code—Steel with the engineer’s approval. The National
Board Inspection Code has adopted all pipe SWPSs except B2.1-1-202 and pipe procedures for Naval Applications. SWPSs with red order numbers
may be used on ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel work with additional requirements spelled out in Section IX of ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code.

Thermal Spraying Practice, Theory, and Application (Historical)
The thermal spraying processes are specialized, yet have a wide ranging utilization in both manufacturing
and maintenance. There are many components and variables involved, which, when working together and
properly applied, produce an effect far greater than indicated when they are considered individually. Yet each
component and variable must be understood to permit the proper selection and operation of a particular
process. With this background, the user is then in a position to tailor the process to a particular application.
