- Welding Symbols
- Nondestructive Examination Methods

- CWI Part A Test Taking Tips
Our training works because it has hundreds of practice questions. After each of the first 12 modules, you will take a quiz to make sure you understand and remember the material from that particular module.
Research from educational psychologists shows that taking quizzes on a regular basis is a great way to learn. The quizzes in this course are very important for letting you know if you understood the material. If you did well on the quiz, you can move on to the next module. But if you missed a lot of questions, we recommend reviewing the module again.
At the end of the last module, you’ll take a 165-question timed practice test that is similar to the real exam. The questions of the practice test come from a question bank. Therefore, if you take the practice test multiple times, you will see different questions each time.
We also have demonstration videos showing weld processes and NDE (nondestructive examination). These videos will help you understand important concepts.
You’ll get 90 days of access with this course so you’ll have plenty of time to prepare for the test.

Passed 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.

I Would Highly Recommend the SI Certs Prep Course
I took the CWI Exam without any experience in welding. I found that SI Certs adequately prepared me for all three parts by honing in on essential content. In particular, the welded joint molds and tool kit from SI Certs were critical for simulating part B of the actual exam.
I tried another popular online preparation course but found it to be far less helpful. The team is also quick to respond to questions and provide additional explanation when requested. I would highly recommend the SI Certs prep course over other courses for anyone looking to take the CWI Exam!
