I just finished an A.A.S-welding technology degree at a local college and i'm wanting to take my CWI.
You have to have 5 years of experience, 3yrs if you include the school. There is no way around this is there? I'm not having any luck finding a job in the central Texas area(unless you want to work for $8.00hr with a degree), and I really would like my CWI Since we had a class covering it, and all 3 of the codes available to take with it.
I'm also looking at Ohio State's Welding Engineer program, any feedback on it. I had 2 metallurgy classes, I'd like to expand on that. We did the 4 major processes in all positions, and I was one of the top ones in my class,I love open roots, but I don't really want to weld. I want the CWI, I know I can pass it.
Also how do you get into radiography, and ultrasonic testing? We learned about both, but didn't have any hands on, is there any certification for these?
