Trying to locate training

By dew84 Date 01-28-2016 17:09

Hi all, I'm new here, I am a welding instructor with CWI/CWE. My school has funds for me to obtain some training. I've been to Hobart, Lincoln, of course the AWS. I'm trying to find certain courses in any of the following:

More code/inspection training.
Metallurgy
Pipe fitting or welding: (I've attend the Lincoln GTAW pipe course).

A workshop or week seminar or something would be great. I have searched the web and haven't found much of anything. Can you help? I'm in North Carolina so if anyone knows of a place I can research, could you please post back?

Thanks in advance.

I have a pipe welding course that is 160 hours that starts in Feb. Have room.

I am also considering starting a series of Welding Inspection courses (NOT CWI PREP) for topics such as contract review, material control, welder testing and certification, Weld Defects and interpretation, weld tracking, NDE Method Overview, Document Control, Non-Conformance Reporting, and others.

https://registration.xenegrade.com/wscc/courseDisplay.cfm?schID=10365 is a link to the pipe welding course.

I also have some one day pipe welding clinics on Saturdays but not much interest yet. https://registration.xenegrade.com/wscc/courseDisplay.cfm?schID=10357

Feel free to email me.

My email address is the same as my name (Note a period between the 1st and last name) followed by ws.edu. Or PM me here if you have any questions. Call me and I can let you know what my experience and abilities are and see if I can help you. Understand that we may be at the same level and I may not be much help.

Cell Number is 423-914-1481.

Office is 423-798-7991, (Will be out the afternoon today so cell is better)

Have a great day

Thanks, Gerald. I'll give you a call. I think the topics you mentioned would be great for an inspection style course.

Thanks again.

Hello,
Weld-Ed is an organization funded by a NSF grant so the information you receive you can take with you and use in your classes.

https://www.weld-ed.org

The classes might not be in your area but they cover the topics you are looking for and are worth the travel.
They are educator (train the trainer) courses that are a week long.

Let me know if you need more information.

Hi Joel, I checked them out before. I would love to take the codes/standards course in CA, but yes it's a little far.

Thanks,
