Most welding codes require that each manufacturer or contractor certify their own welders. This means a welding test taken for XYZ Company cannot be transferred to another company if you change employment. So, if XYZ Company had you take a test to become certified for the work you were doing there, it is not at all valid under another company. You will have to start the certification process from scratch at a new employer.
This program establishes high standards for test facilities, their personnel, and equipment to qualify for accreditation to test and qualify welders.
With an ATF test your certification can be taken to any employer without having to re-certify. Additionally, you'll have convenient digital access to your certifications and continuity log from anywhere on any device with the AWS WeldCert Pro platform! You will be also listed in the National Registry of Welders, where potential employers can search to find certified welders in their area. As of November 3rd, 2025 the American Welding Society has updated their specifications to QC47 for Accredited Test Facilities like Earlbeck. For welders, this just means that your AWS welder certification records are going digital with the AWS WeldCert Pro platform! You'll be able to easily access your credentials from anywhere on any device. Manage certifications, WPQs, and WPSs all in one place!
