Welding Certification Pricing
Prior to taking a welding test, most people want to know how much does a welding certification cost? Although this is a difficult question to answer because there are so many certification tests available (as explained in our article- Which welding test do I take?, we will try to cover some general pricing guidelines. Pricing varies depending on the code you are testing for.
There is also the option of selecting the AWS Accredited Test Facility (ATF) Upgrade. The testing process is the same for ATF testing, however with this upgrade, you will be registered in the AWS certified welder registry, as well as receive a card from AWS which can be taken to any employer without having to recertify. More information in this program can be found here- AWS ATF Program Pricing below is for some of the most common welding certification tests done at our facility. All testing materials are provided. |
