Title: so who is cwb certified anyway?
Post by: weirtech on September 28, 2010, 08:30:24 AM: i'm considering getting certified if it isn't too much of a pain in the ass. just wondering if anyone on here can give me some insight as to what is involved. is there a written as well as practical test? i imagine i could just do it at a local college that offers testing?

Post by: dvst8r on September 28, 2010, 12:18:54 PM: I am cwb certified for 3 process's in all positions. (actually I think they have all expired), but non transferable, so only at EP Industries. They are a CWB certified shop.

Aaron, are you doing any structural work? Are you looking to get your business CWB or just yourself. There is a big difference in $$$ and in the amount of paperwork.

Post by: Passenger on September 30, 2010, 12:33:54 AM: There is a really wide variety of tests, I haven't taken any for about 3 years, last one was for 20,000psi for a soy bean husk machine, first ones were for shielded fluxcore for transport chassis work. Honestly there isn't much point in getting them unless you have a process you need to be certed for.

For structural: Solid wire, in any position, is pretty straight forward. So is fluxcore / metal core. I do so little stick that it is always a bitch for me in overhead.
