This is what I have to say. I believe since they insist on 5 years experience, ICC is a place to start. Problem is, it's not as in-depth as the CWI exam is, it's mostly about bolting and general welding.
I really want to get the CWI credential down the road, especially since this will open...
This is the way I see it. The ICC cert is just the beginning of a welding inspector's career. You gotta start somewhere, so this is perfect. I eventually want to get my CWI, but they require 5 years of experience, so the ICC would be a great route to go.
Does anyone here know about ICC's steel and welding exam? I believe this is the first step one must take in order to be a certified welding inspector (CWI) down the road. Has anyone taken the ICC exam?
