Up Topic American Welding Society Services / Certifications / 9 year recert education points?
- - By Mikeqc1 (****) Date 03-19-2014 19:29
Hey all,
I’m trying to see if I can qualify to recertify my nine years based on Professional Development hours (PDH). Within the last nine years I have taken ASNT level III basic refresher course (16 hours), PT level III training (16 hours) and MT level III training (16 hours)
I also have Auditor training and RT level II training.
I have also tested for level III basic MT III and PT level III and passed.
In QC-1 it states PDH mat be earned by participating in classroom correspondence or distance learning in one or more areas indicated in AWS B5.1.
Id like to open a discussion on AWS B5.1 and what I can claim for credit.
Indicated is what in hung up on.

Mike I believe part of the hours have to be within the last 3 year period, and IIRC there were also restrictions on how many hours...I just don't have all of that in front of me at the moment and I'm heading out the door.....read over on the AWS site under certification/renewing the 9 yr cert.

PDH's by training and continuing education of which 20 hrs must be in the last 3 year portion of the 9 year cycle.

Looks like you've got more than enough hours if 20 of them were in the last 3 years of your 9 year cycle.

I started corresponding with AWS last year to verify all my points would count.
I had to supply class itineraries and lots of extra information. It pays to do the
planning in advance. This is the person who gave me the most help.
