This was posted on the AWS Member Network. Probably the wrong site. Therefore the re-posting to possibly the better forum

For those individuals who would consider becoming an AWS QC1 CWI the following should direct your study: From the AWS Web Site CWI Certification Link - Download the FREE QC1 CWI Documents: QC1, B5.1, and Book of Specifications (BOS), and use the search function for ANSI Z49.1 Safety in Welding.
Note from QC1 the section 5 lists the Education and Experience Requirements. Section 6 lists the Examination Requirements for CWI and the structure of the 3 exam parts and the Minimum Number of Questions. AWS B5.1 Section 5 Lists the Education and Experience Requirements.
Now the AWS B5.1 download; Section 4 Functions and 4.2 Capabilities. "...at a minimum, be able to perform the tasks listed in Table 1." This minimum will be tested in all three parts of the CWI exam (Part A Welding Fundamentals, Part B Book of Specifications and Part C the selected Code (Candidate Selects the Code or Standard to be tested).
The Part C and Part B are open book. Learn to navigate through them, do not memorize answers. Know where to find the answer!
The following publications utilized in the CWI Seminar are available from the AWS Bookstore. As an AWS member the cost for D1.1 Structural Code - Steel $411 / or code or standard of choice for exam, D1.1 Reference Manual - Code Clinic $63, Welding Inspection Technology$210, WIT Workbook $60, A2.4 Symbols $123, A3.0 Terms & Definitions $129, B1.10 Guide for NDE $84, 10 piece toolkit $270 (use for practice with the BOS and evaluate shop welds). About a $1350 investment which will pay huge dividends for the exam and inspection career.
Not included with the CWI seminar materials but recommended publications in addition - B1.11 Guide for VT $84, & WI:2015 Welding Inspection Handbook $66 and the Ninth Edition, Volume 1, AWS Welding Handbook $147 ($35 plus as part of AWS Membership.
$88).
If the cost / expense of the above is prohibitive; utilize the AWS Section's Library - if not all, many of the above publications are in Your AWS Section Library.
Prior to the exam or exam & seminar PLAN for a scheduled study time over a period of time (30, 60, 90 - 180 days / how much preparation time is per individual candidate). Outline the topics to be studied and using a daily planner; plot a study chart and follow it!!!
Life gets in the way - Fail to Plan - Plan to Fail!
Remember, the Exam Candidate Writes / Takes the exam and is responsible for the results.

"possibly the better forum" ??  It is now on both THE GREATEST WELDING FORUM IN THE WORLD ...  as well as being put on The Second Greatest Welding Forum In The World.

Thus, if someone who needs the info doesn't see it now, they don't know anything about where to go for top notch information.

He Is In Control, Have a Great Day,  Brent

Thank you, it was thought that many who may consider The AWS QC1 CWI program may not members and this forum would address these individuals.
