Prior to taking a welding test, most people want to know: how much does a welding certification cost? With so many different certification tests available, this can be a difficult question to answer. We cover some general pricing guidelines below, but costs do vary depending on the code you are testing for. 

Review the "What Welding Certification Do I Need?" article over on our blog for more insight on which certification is right for you!​

Additionally, we offer the option of selecting the AWS Accredited Test Facility (ATF) Upgrade. The testing process remains the same, but with this upgrade, you will be registered in the AWS certified welder registry. You'll also receive a card from AWS which can be taken to any employer without having to re-certify.

More information in this program can be found here: AWS ATF Program
