Course Description
Course Outline
This course will be highly beneficial for welding Engineers,
Mechanical Supervisors, Foreman, Shop Inspectors, QA/
QC personnel and inspection agencies including the Third
Party Inspection agencies. Welders, welding supervisors,
inspectors, NDE examiners, technologists, or engineers,
who are seeking an understanding of welding technology and welding inspection will find the course useful. The
course help the participants to understand various welding processes, their relative merits and de-merits, step by
step methodology in welding inspection, Do’s and Don’ts
of NDT examinations and how to resolve non-conformances. It will help the API 577 Certification exam candidates to pass the exam successfully with high score.
