EWF/IIW Welding Diploma

An internationally recognised certification for assessing the competence of tasks/responsibilities during welding coordination (BS EN ISO 14731)
Introduction
The EWF/IIW Welding Diploma SPECIALIST LEVEL
consists of three different levels: Six modules to be completed - each module lasts one week and finishes with an exam (standard route)
Specialist (IWS), Technologist (IWT)
and Engineer (IWE). Although the Entry Requirements
