Well, I am doing this for my Husband, he has been talking about this for a while now, he loves to weld and still does, but this is not his career right now, he has been doing something else for the past years after we lost our buss. and everything else we had. He was certified AWS in 1984 or maybe 83, anyway, we lost everything in 1986, including all paperwork, his certification paper, my question is, is there a record somewhere of his certification? Does he need to re-test after all these years? Years go by, but does your AWS certs. keep the same number? I know I might sound a little, shal we say,, a little Un-hip to all of this, so I dont know If I am asking the questions correct,,but in other words, does he have to go threw school again to get re-certified? Where do we start to find those original certs? Where do we begin? I think he once said, LA Certification, we live in southern california, and he was certified AWS in San Bernardino, any help, I sure would appreciate, Thasnks,,,oh by the way,,,We lost a little black male dog, Pomeranion, very small in Riverside, but could be anywhere, lost on the 8th of Dec, we are desperate, and offering a large reward, just thought I would post that to, Iv left dog lost flyers everywhere withen 60 miles of Riverside ca.
