Who can give cert tests?

admin

There's some debate at my school about whether a weld test for an AWS cert has to be administered by a CWI or can be given by someone who is a certified welder (not inspector).I was under the impression that the test has to be administered by a CWI but I can't find anything in D1.1 that says that. Is it elsewhere in print or am I wrong?
Reply:Reading between the lines here........... If you suspect the guy giving the test is not a CWI......... I'd just keep quiet and give him my best weld possible. Grab the paper / certification and ease out of the testing facility.Could be your choice as to weather you "make a point" or pass a test. In my past experiences those guys are usually someone's worthless brother-in law, son-in law, etc.Your choice.Thanks,HoboLincoln SA200's... at least 15 - 20. They come and go.
