Topic Welding Industry / Inspection & Qualification / Career advice for an ex welder turned inspector...

Hi all-

I've passed over from (or to) the dark side recently from welding to inspecting. I've got a CWI and the corresponding VT 2 cert, and am waiting on my API 510 results. Do any of you more experienced gents have some advice as to what I should go for next? More APIs? NACE? I'm open to suggestions!!!

Thanks in advance!

I think a NACE Coating Inspector Certifications can fill in a welding inspector's qualification portfolio.

They are time consuming and expensive to get.

UT and MT training and eventual certifications will also be helpful.
