Welding Engineering Certification Options

 
The University of Ottawa students asked the author (Kevin Bagheri, P.Eng) about the options of Welding Engineering Certification available.  Questions about how to get certification and which certification is best seem to reflect a general unfamiliarity with the process. But in all fairness to the Engineering novices, the processes are not uniform around the world so some of the answers to their questions may not always be understood due to variations from country to country. This paper is an attempt to point out some of the basic differences of the main system types and to offer ideas for those faced with prospect of lack of certification options in Welding Engineering.
