Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 9, 2009

SGS has scheduled nine American Welding Society (AWS) Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) courses in Latin America for 2009, including Columbia, Peru, Ecuador, Panama and Venezuela.

The AWS is a non-profit organisation that aims to advance the science, technology and application of welding and related joining disciplines.

The training programme prepares candidates for the AWS Certified Welding Inspector examination.

Participants receive comprehensive welding inspection education and practical experience in welding processes and procedures.

This training includes, among other topics, welding inspection technology and visual inspection workshops.

The AWS/CWI certification is recognised worldwide in the welding industry.

The AWS/CWI course schedule for 2009 is as follows: Columbia - Bogota, 20-25 April, 6-11 July, 30 November to 5 December; Peru - Lima, 16-21 March; Ecuador - Quito, 25-30 May; Panama - Panama City, 11-17 May; Venezuela - Caracas, 2-8 March, 13-19 July, 9-13 November.

SGS also provides non-destructive testing (NDT) training courses and certification services, as well as NDT services.

Non-destructive testing is a term used to describe the method of testing and inspecting materials or products for defects without damaging or destroying the items: for example, with time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD), a tool for flaw detection in welds, or dye-penetrant examination (PE), to detect welds.
