Hello to all,
Let me start out by saying, I am definitely going to take the CWI Exam class at Hobart in Troy, Ohio this year (2013). To my understanding they will provide certain books for the class, listed below. But unlike when I was in High School, I want to study, then study more and then study some more,
. Failure is not a option for me
.
I have 20 years of experience welding and have dealt with alot of inspectors, that have approached me to become a CWI. Now I am going to take the plunge
.
I have a list below that has recommendations of books and online courses to get or do ahead of time to be prepared for the class and exam. My name isn't Bill Gates, so I have to purchase the items in stages. I need help with what to do or buy in the best order as possible.
