An International Welding Specialist (IWS) qualification will expand your career in the welding sector.
This International Institute of Welding (IIW) qualification is advised for all Welding Coordinators to work in compliance with AS/NZS ISO 3834 and have an effective working knowledge as indicated by AS/NZS ISO 14731. An IWS understands the factors that influence welding quality and conditions, how to oversee welders effectively, and the variables that help to maximise site productivity.
WHY ENROL?
An IWS qualification will benefit you and your company. It enables suitably qualified foremen, managers, quality supervisors, and lead welders to improve their company’s bottom line.
An IWS often makes critical contributions to the four important metrics in welding operations: quality, cost, productivity and safety. These skills are transferable, hence, this qualification can increase your personal earning potential and job stability.
