Achieve accredited welding certification with WQiC
The terms ‘welder codings’, ‘coded welder’ and ‘coded welding test’ have been used to describe the competency of a welder, however the correct terminology is actually welder qualification, welder approval, or a welder approval test.
WQiC can offer you accredited Inspection Body (type A) and DBT Approved Body for Pressure Equipment qualifications that if you sponsor yourself you can also hold them in your own name. We can also offer individuals certification through our Personnel Certification Scheme at our Welding Certification Center.
We will also help you in determining the most suitable test(s) for you to produce to obtain the widest range of qualification(s).
