Why Become a Certified Welder?

3/18/2016

Weld Testing
Though you can work as a professional welder without ever becoming certified, there are quite a few reasons to become a certified welder. There is no single certification that certifies a welder for all process, metals or positions. However, even having one certification can expand opportunities for the welder.
By becoming a certified welder, you will open more career opportunities. Certified welders are in demand in a variety of industries, including construction, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and more. 
Many employers will hire certified welders because it is a tangible record of skill. Certification is a great way to demonstrate the welders level of training and experience while job hunting. A certified welder is also more appealing to an employer because statistics have shown that those that are certified have a lower rate of on the job incidents and injuries in comparison to non certified welders. 
Once you've acquired a job, you will be able to command a higher rate of pay. Bureau of Labor statistics indicate a certified welder can earn up to 60% more than non certified welders. You will also have better job security. When companies reduce their welding staff, they're more likely to retain a certified welder because their certification makes them harder to replace in the future. 

Most importantly, a certification may be required if it is called out in a contract or project blueprints. If this is the case, it is imperative that the welder doing the work is certified to the correct code specified. If awarded a project, make sure you have read all requirements and you are in compliance with the requirements.

Thanks for pointing out that becoming a certified welder will help you get hired because it provides a tangible record of skill. My younger brother has mentioned that he'd like to pursue welding as a career, so I've been looking for tips online to help him get started. I think it will really help him to find a welding program where he can get certified, so I'm glad you shared that idea!

As i can state that certification is a stamp on your proficiency but i also cannot deny that without certification you also can work as a professional as certificate is only necessary to expand career opportunities as a certified you can grab many better job opportunities in that case certification is on a prior base.

It's good to know that certified welders are hard to replace. That makes me want to find a company that has only a couple of welders. That most likely mean they are all certified and able to get the job done right.
