Welding Examiner and Welding Engineer Candidates

Welding Examiner Candidates

This course includes evening tutorial sessions at no extra charge for Welding Examiner exam candidates for Papers #1 and #3. Evening tutorials are mandatory for exam candidates planning to challenge Alberta Welding Examiner Papers 2 and 4, and optional for all other attendees; about 1 hour on Days 1 and 2, and up to 3 hours on Day 3 that includes:

  • Explanation of Alberta Welding Examiner Syllabus (AB-94) and its relation to a career path.
  • Exam preparation for:
    • structures of metals and mechanical properties;
    • WPS, PQR, WQR, and WOQR reviews, including identifying errors and verifying the acceptability of the essential and nonessential variables; and
    • take-home assignments and reviewed the following day.
  • Post-classroom practice exams (online) for Papers #1 and #3.

Welding Engineer Candidates

The following 2 CASTI courses and their CASTI exams (70% minimum pass mark) are approved to satisfy the CSA W47.1 Welding Engineer "knowledge requirements" in Clause 6.4.3.


  1. Welding Fundamentals + CASTI online exam with 50 multiple choice questions.
  2. ASME Section IX - Welding Codes and Metallurgy + CASTI online exam with 50 multiple choice questions.

Evening tutorial exam preparation study material and post-classroom Welding Fundamentals practice exam (online) is included in this course.







Certificate & Credits

Earn 32 professional development hours (PDHs), through full attendance,
documented on a Certificate of Completion issued at the end of the course.
