CWI seeking ASNT level II certs

By goatsrule Date 11-27-2008 13:21

I recently obtained my CWI. It appears more jobs are available for a CWI that has the ANST level II certifications in mt pt & ut. I know that some companies offer that training for employees but I haven't see any openings posted lately. I am willing to obtain those certs on my on dime but can't find anyone locally that provides the training. Anyone know of a company in alabama or the surrounding area that offers that service?

no problem. they say that you can get VT level II as well. though ACCP for a fee of course. if i am not mistaken you may need a J-1 eye exam not the normal J-2. some ppl say there's no need for it and some say it just looks good on a resume.

yes i see where a AWS CWI can apply for ACCP VT Level II through ASNT for $200.00. They accept your CWI cert so you don't have to take the exam but you're right the J-1 eye exam is an addtional requirement. ANST claims the certification is the most widely referenced NDT document specificed in codes and standards, especially ASME. i guess it's great for those that may work under the codes requiring it and certianly won't hurt being in a resume, just not sure i'll get $200.00 worth of benefits out of it. thanks for bringing it to my attention though. if you get any more info on mt pt ut certs in central al lemme know.
