I just got my results from the CWI exam yesterday. I passed on the first try! I got an 85% average. Your course was excellent. I felt very prepared going in to the test. Thank You!!!

Springfield, ILAlmost Seemed Too Easy
I’ve got great news I passed my part B exam with an 86%. Thank you for helping me pass, you guys have a good program it helped me a ton with my confidence. I was the second one in the group to finish compared to the last one to finish the first time I around. It almost seemed too easy, I walked out knowing I passed it!
Dennis M.
Los Angeles, CAThis course was on par with how the actual exams would be.
SI Certs was a tremendous benefit to me in studying for and acquiring my CWI. Having access to the material that they provide for 6 months certainly helped me understand how questions would be asked on the actual CWI exams. This course was on par with how the actual exams would be. With the help of their courses, I was able to pass all three of my exams on the first try. They are also great folks to work with. They have been very kind to a coworker of mine with helping to "pause" his 6 month timeline of access to the course when his life became very busy, and they allowed him to "restart" where he left off with the remainder of his 6 month access. That in itself showed that this company is comprised of great people.

First I wanted to share that I passed my CWI exam with flying colors. My scores were awesome... Part A - 92%, Part B - 87%, Part C - 98% for a composite score of 92%!!
I also took part in the AWS week long seminar and I can honestly say that without SI Certs prior to that seminar I would have been lost. I was heads above others in the seminar because of what I learned through your platform. I had a very solid understanding of the intricacies of the test, the format of the code book, the necessary inspection tools and the replicas. It really made the seminar more of a review for me while reinforcing what I already learned through SI Certs. All in all, I was very pleased with your program and give credit to SI Certs for my success with the CWI exam.
Thanks again for everything.

Waunakee, WII would've failed had I not taken SI Certs' course
Just wanted to give a HUGE thank you to you all at SI Certs for helping me pass my CWI exam on the first try!!
I did also waste a lot of money by taking the AWS seminar along with SI Certs. And I can say without a doubt that I would've failed had I not taken SI Certs' course. AWS should take notes from the SI Certs curriculum.
This is my third certification through SI Certs and I have gotten three others to use this program. Thanks again!

Chicago, ILSeriously, the best customer service I have EVER experienced
Take the courses!
If you're someone who can study on their own but would like some structure, any SI Certs course is for you. I have purchased all 3 CWI courses and the reinforced concrete course from SI Certs and have passed both the CWI and reinforced concrete exams the first time around. I plan to take another course with SI Certs (PT or masonry) because of the success rate.
P.S. Shout out to Gabe and the SI Certs team. Seriously, the best customer service I have EVER experienced.

San Jose, CAI was really impressed
The CWI Exam is tough, but the toughest part for me was the Part B. I attended other training prior to taking the exam and while I achieved a passing score on Part A & C I only scored a 70% on the Part B...I was desperate to pass my Part B on the second attempt but with such a busy schedule my options were very limited. I was really impressed by SI Certs offering online training in conjunction to the Welding Replicas and Toolkit for hands on practice. With my second attempt my score climbed to a 89% and I owe it all to the time I spent practicing with SI Certs' material!

West Memphis, ARPassed My CWI on the First Try
Guys, I can't thank you enough for your CWI training course. I signed up for the course to become a CWI after being in the Machining trade for 15 years. I had limited training in welding and weld practices, and your course made it very easy to study and get up to speed.
Your course was truly what I needed. You provide all the necessary topics and tricks needed to become a CWI. I took the test and I passed on my first time through using the techniques and information provided in your course. I can't thank you enough for making a great course.

Part A: 93%
Part B: 80%

I really appreciate your help through this time and believe without your course this wouldn't be possible. Thanks a lot!

Tampico, MexicoYours was the closest thing to the actual part B exam
Hello. I just wanted to say thanks for all of your help. I passed my CWI part B retake with 85%. I believe that of the several online courses that I've taken, yours was the closest thing to the actual part B exam. I would recommend your course to anyone who wants to get their CWI. I will be taking some ICC courses soon and I'll be purchasing them from you.

Personal Coaching
"Hello, I'm Matt, your personal coach for CWI training. I first took and passed the CWI exam in 2010. The exam was extremely difficult and most of those I took the test with failed. The seminar was an information overload, and memorization tactics didn't work."
"I spent countless hours developing an online curriculum that lays out your path to preparing for the CWI test. On top of that, I'll be your personal coach through SI Certs so you're never alone in your studies. I'm just one click away."
"You cannot master the CWI concepts by cramming information from a condensed seminar. SI Certs isn't instructor-dependent - that means you don't have to wait on us for anything. You can study faster or more slowly, anytime day or night.
Our course is designed for both full-time working professionals and beginners that have more time on their hands. Our quizzes and timed tests are designed to prepare you for the exam. Our coaching is designed to support you along the way. Our guarantee means we guarantee to support you until you pass - free access and continued coaching."

SI Certs VS. Classroom Seminar
Until now, we've prepared for the CWI test by attending a week-long, in-person seminar. But this method is difficult to learn everything you need to pass the exam. Many people find these seminars inadequate because they teach too much information in too short of time.
SI Cert's approach allows you to take your time and truly learn the codes. This translates to better chances to pass the exam and become a successful CWI. We start you from the beginning by helping you understand everything from basic welding to metallurgic principles. These topics are covered in AWS' pre-seminar.
We also offer tips and tricks for navigating the most difficult questions you'll find on the exam. Our online coaching is also available to help you all along the way.
