CWB Recertification

admin

Hey allI have a question regarding recertification. I have expired CWB tickets i obtained while attending college. My previous employer did not feel the need to recertify my SMAW 1,2 or GMAW 1 (both on carbon steel 3/16 or greater) in May 2012 when they expired. I was performing MCAW / FCAW there0 and passed plate tests for that which are good util June 2014I have since been laid off and currently finding it difficult convincing employers to take me on with my tickets out of date. I live in Peterborugh Ontario and need help.Where and how can i get my tickets updated? I am confident enough that I could walk in and pass the plate tests. When I approached Employment Ontario and inquired about second career funding they are more interested in sending me back to school for a one or two year program which I don't see necessary. They have been of little help in this manner. Time to leave it to the guys and girls who have been there.HELLLLLP
Reply:Here in NL when my tickets were about to expire I just called the local ironworkers set up a test date and that was it,  they give you a week to practice and the test for $250 if I recall.  May be different in ontario....Journeyman / Red Seal Welder (What a useless test)Miller CST 280Miller XMT 350Miller 12vs XtremeEvolution Evo 28 mag drillEvolution 380 Dry Cut saw
Reply:Also if your tickets are expired over 90 days you have to do all 4 positions again and not a check test...Journeyman / Red Seal Welder (What a useless test)Miller CST 280Miller XMT 350Miller 12vs XtremeEvolution Evo 28 mag drillEvolution 380 Dry Cut saw
