EWF/IIW Welding Diploma

An internationally recognised certification for assessing the competence of tasks/responsibilities during welding coordination (BS EN ISO 14731)
Introduction
SPECIALIST LEVEL
The EWF/IIW Welding Diploma consists of three Six modules to be completed - each module lasts one week and finishes with an exam (standard route)
different levels: Specialist (IWS), Technologist (IWT)
and Engineer (IWE). Although the topics covered Entry Requirements
in each level are similar, the depth and breadth „„ Approved craft diploma in engineering subjects, for instance City and Guilds of London Institute OR
are increased as progress is made towards the „„ Level 2/3 National or Scottish Vocational Qualifications or other nationally recognised vocations qualifications in engineering subjects OR
