Your photo is a vital part of your application. To learn more, review the information below on how to
provide a suitable photo to avoid processing delays. The acceptance of your photo is always at the
discretion of the AWS.
We recommend you use a professional passport photo service to ensure your photo meets all the
requirements.
If you are applying for a Certification, you must provide one (1) passport-style photograph. Your
photo must be:
• In color
• Printed on photo quality paper
• 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size
• Sized such that the head is between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (between 25 and 35 mm) from the
bottom of the chin to the top of the head.
• Taken within the last 6 months to reflect your current appearance
• Taken in front of a plain white or off-white background
• Taken in full-face view directly facing the camera
• With a neutral facial expression and both eyes open
• Taken in clothing that you normally wear on a daily basis:
o Uniforms should not be worn in your photo, except religious clothing that is worn daily.
o Do not wear a hat or head covering that obscures the hair or hairline, unless worn daily
for a religious purpose. Your full face must be visible, and the head covering must not
cast any shadows on your face.
o Headphones, wireless hands-free devices or similar items are not acceptable in your
photo.
o If you normally wear prescription glasses, a hearing device or similar articles, they may
be worn for your photo.
o Dark glasses or non-prescription glasses with tinted lenses are not acceptable unless you
need them for medical reasons (a medical certificate may be required)
o Glare on glasses is not acceptable in your photo. Glare can be avoided with a slight
downward tilt of the glasses or by removing the glasses or by turning off the camera
flash.
Digitial Images:
• Dimensions: The image dimensions must be in a square aspect ratio (the height must be equal
to the width). Minimum acceptable dimensions are 600 x 600 pixels. Maximum acceptable
dimensions are 1200 x 1200 pixels.
Scanned Images:

Photos copied or digitally scanned from driver’s licenses or other official documents are not acceptable.
In addition, snapshots, magazine photos, low quality vending machine or mobile phone photos, and full-
length photographs are not acceptable.
While we recommend you use a professional passport photo service to ensure your photo meets all the
requirements, you may take the photo yourself. Hand-held self-portraits are not acceptable. Photos
must not be digitally enhanced or altered to change your appearance in any way. Please use reliable
references for guidance on taking your own photo. There are several online software tools for this
purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the tool you use produces a photo that meets AWS
specifications.
If you cannot be identified from your current photo on file with AWS, you should submit a new photo
with your renewal or recertification application.
Examination results will NOT be released until we receive the 2 x 2 inch color passport-style photograph.

RECOMMENDED PRESTUDY FOR
PREPARATION FOR CERTIFIED WELDING INSPECTOR EXAM COURSE
AT HOBART INSTITUTE OF WELDING TECHNOLOGY
If you are planning to take the CWI course and exam and you would like to study prior to the
course, you may consider:
1. Obtain a copy of the AWS QC1 Specification for AWS Certification of Welding Inspectors.
This is available free as a download from the American Welding Society website
at http://www.aws.org/library/doclib/QC1-2016.pdf. This is the standard for all AWS-CWIs.
Read it completely.
2. When you have selected the code you will use for the Part C – Open Code Book part of the
exam, you should purchase that code book. This may be purchased
from http://www.welding.org/product-category/books/welding-codes-specifications/ or
directly from the publisher. Look how it is organized: the table of contents, the index. Learn
how to find information quickly and understand what each section covers. Bring this code
book with you to the class.
3. Obtain a copy of the AWS – Part B Examination Book of Specifications. This is available
free as a download from the American Welding Society website
at https://www.aws.org/library/doclib/cwi-partB-BOS-customary20170418.pdf. Read it from
cover-to-cover including the footnotes. This book of specifications is the standard you will
use for the Part B examination.
4. If you are experienced in welding but have limited experience in welding inspection, you
may choose to attend the Arc Welding Inspection (AWI520) at the Hobart Institute to get
basic inspection training. http://www.welding.org/students/continuing-education/technical-
training/. This course is not a prerequisite requirement for the CWI course, but can be very
beneficial for someone starting out in welding inspection.
5. If you cannot attend the Arc Welding Inspection, you may want to purchase the AWS
Certification Manual for Welding Inspectors. http://www.welding.org/product/certification-
manual-welding-inspectors/. It is for self-study. Read each section and answer the questions
at the end of each section.
6. If you lack welding process experience, you may want to take the 4-day Welding for the
Non-Welder course at Hobart Institute. http://www.welding.org/students/continuing-
education/technical-training/ . It provides welding process information and hands-on practice
with oxyacetylene welding, shielded metal arc, gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc and flux
cored arc welding processes.
