Advantages of AWS D1.1 Certification

Hiring a welding or fabrication company that does not require its employees to carry AWS D1.1 Certification can lead to many difficulties down the line. If a welding shop allows their employees to work without this certification production may not be as stable and the overall quality of the work may suffer. AWS D1.1 Certification assures that an employee has the experience, training, and work efficiency necessary to handle the challenging career of a welder, and as such you should not hire one who does not possess it.

What Is AWS D1.1 Certification?

Before quality work is able to be accomplished standards need to be firmly established. As such, we require our welders to have AWS D1. 1 Certification, a designation which provides assurance that the welders who possess it are professional, skilled, and have efficient work habits. The exam which leads to the possession of this certification (created by the American Welding Society) covers all of the necessary skills one would need to become a well-equipped welder and more.

Obtaining AWS D1.1 Certification

It is a challenging task to achieve AWS D1. 1 Certification, but any welder that has a quality skill set should have it. The certification itself is broken up into multiple categories as there are many different types of welding techniques. Once an individual knows what they want to train for in the field of welding they must gain hands-on experience. Afterwards they must study the AWS standard documentation, locate their nearest certified testing facility and pay an entrance fee. The exam consists of a series of written examinations and performance tests to determine the applicant’s overall knowledge of welding as well as their potential level of competence in the field.
