then pass the four advanced level exams (WPE, MAB, DAC and FAA) “Welding Processes and Equipment”, “Materials and their Behaviour
during Welding”, “Construction and Design” and “Fabrication and Applications Engineering”. It is acknowledged that the combination of
your experience and the Cranfield MSc course will exempt you from attending the WPE, MAB and DAC taught modules but you still have
the option of attending the TWI modules if you think this will help you pass the exams. FAA 3 module and IWE examination dates may be
found at www.twitraining.com and further information and bookings made via trainexam@twi.co.uk.
