Welding Inspector Certification Programs

Taking sample exams will not prepare you for the CWI Exam. The AWS has many versions of the certification exam. Our sample exams may not match your CWI exam questions, however they cover the same subjects.

Exams only check your knowledge of the subjects.

To properly prepare for the CWI Exam you need all the training classes with exam scores at 100% before you move to the next class so you gain the needed knowledge.

The 1st 20 classes (all but the metric class) all have review buttons to tell you the correct answers. Then you verify your knowledge to see if you are ready for the real CWI Exam with the final 3 each sample exams at the end - Fundamental Exam, Practical Exam, Code Book Exam. 

The final 3 each exams do not have review buttons to tell you the correct answer because you should know the answers at that point.

These final 3 exams also will help you with getting the exams answered (each question should not take more than 45 seconds to answer) in a time that will help you prepare for the 2 hour time limit.  

If you miss questions during the final 3 each exams, this means you need to go back to the class that covers the subject on the questions you missed.  Typically all students get the final three each exams to 100% missing no questions.

Notice*  All 9 year renewals should prepare with the 80 hour training (no particular exam score required), in your 8th year.  Do not wait until the 9th year and run out of time. NOTE*  do not fast forward the training.  Let the training move forward on its own at its own pace.  If you fast forward, your training progress will be made void and you will not be given credit for the training.  Only fast forward to a page where you had previously stopped.

16.4.5 Trainers who want to substitute teaching hours for the required PDHs shall submit documentation of the hours of training performed. Such documentation shall include a complete syllabus of subjects taught, a copy of the certificates of attendance or completion issued, the number of students attending, the dates of the training provided, and documentation that the training was a formal offering and not personal coaching, tutoring, or individual instruction delivered to meet job requirements.

1. Incorrect answers

2. Correct answers

3. Most Correct Answer

Always choose the most correct answer.

A welder has been qualified for groove welding using a 12 in. schedule 80 pipe test coupon in the 2G position.

Is the welder qualified for the welding of 4 in. schedule 80 pipe?

The welder was qualified for groove welding using a 12 in. schedule 80 pipe test coupon

(he is not qualified for the 5G & 6G positions).

The more correct answer is:    Yes, but not in the 5G or 6G positions.
