Custom Training Solutions, Testing & Consultative Services
Training Solutions Built Around Your Needs
Hobart Institute of Welding Technology maintains a dedicated staff of skilled instructors, technicians, and AWS Certified Welding Inspectors with expertise in developing and delivering customized training and testing solutions to meet specific needs. This includes hands-on training to build welding skills, welding inspector training covering arc welding inspection and nondestructive examination methods, and instructor-led training focused on quality and certification. We also provide welder and procedure qualification testing, AWS-accredited welder certification, and consultative services — from program assessment to code interpretation and WPS development — to help your organization meet compliance requirements and strengthen its welding operations.
This training can be conducted at our campus in Troy, Ohio, or on-site at your facility. Services are available to industrial firms, contractors, utility companies, educational institutions, and governmental agencies and organizations alike.
Please advise us as to your requirements. Our staff will be glad to help evaluate your training and testing needs, determine possible solutions, and implement the right program — whether that means building welding skills, developing inspection expertise, qualifying welders and procedures, or navigating certification and compliance.
Certification & Qualification Testing
Accredited welder certification and qualification testing to keep your team code-compliant.
AWS Accredited Test Facility (ATF) Welder Certification and Qualification

Our staff has the expertise and experience to certify welders on all types of ferrous and nonferrous materials, including Titanium, Cobalt, Inconel, and Aluminum. Our organization is fully staffed with AWS Certified Welding Inspectors and SNT Level III Technicians that meet most, if not all, welding specification requirements. Our office maintains a complete and efficient computer database and filing system for easy and accurate access.
For further information, call the certification lab at 937-332-9502 or contact us.
AWS QC-47 - National Welder Certification
The AWS Certified Welder program is a performance-based program with no prerequisite courses or certifications required. Final certification will provide “transferable” credentials that you may take with you wherever you go.
Unlike typical welder qualifications, which are obtained through an employer and only active while you are employed with that company, your AWS Welder Certification travels with you, regardless of your employment status with a particular company. Your certification will be added to the American Welding Society’s National Registry of Certified Welders. Employers can access this database to confirm your Certification.
The Certified Welder (CW) program tests welders to procedures used in the structural steel, petroleum pipelines, sheet metal, and chemical refinery welding industries. There is also a provision to test to a company-supplied or non-code welding specification.
Certified Welder (CW) testing may only be performed at AWS Accredited Testing Facilities. The Hobart Institute of Welding Technology has been accredited by the American Welding Society since 1990 to perform Certification and Qualification of Welders.
For additional information or to learn more about becoming an AWS QC-47 Certified Welder, call the certification lab at 937-332-9502 or contact us.
