starting my last 3 free years in Jan. and thought I ought to start thinking myself. I might just take a road trip to Miami and take part b but wouldn't mind doing it with a class if i can find one.
Parent - By CHGuilford (****) Date 10-24-2009 01:20
Gotta think... let's see 54 minus 18 is 36.  That was my age when i took mine.  It's been worth it.

you can't take the lA city exam for welding inspector unless you first obtain your
ICC structural steel inspector license. ICC will sell you their license if you have your AWS CWI license
but you will also have to pay for and pass the ICC high strength bolting exam. Remember the City of LA license
is valid only in the city of los Angeles. The outlying cities require a county of Los Angeles license lol Get out your wallet
AWS 850.00   ICC 250 + 75.00 no test fee. city of Los angeles $590.00 county of los angeles ??? AWS D1.1 Book 475.00
aisc Book 325.00 astm book 300.00. study books for tests another 500.00 having your CWI Priceless

Hey Joe!

Become an AWS member and order your AWS D1.1 book from your local AWS section's education library instead which will give you a substantial discount compared to the $475.00 Non-member list price... For example, the Pittsburgh Section offers AWS members 40% discount on AWS publications including code books!!! :) :) :)

Now I don't know what the LA section, or whatever section you belong to offers their members, but it should be close to the same... Something to consider for sure!!! ;)

Respectfully,
Henry
Parent - By 464238 (**) Date 02-11-2010 23:34
In the LA Section we offer a discount on code books.

If you are interested please E-mail aws_laie_section@msn.com

Regards,

Tony
