Hello there
Xavier here. I am recent grad student looking to pick up welding as a hobby. Hopefully in the future I can make it into a inspector position. I've seen some interesting discussions in the forum and I look forward to learning more, reading, and getting to know the community.

Hi xavier22wc3,
Welcome to the MetalWork Forums.
We have some excellent people here who are supportive friendly and helpful.Bear in mind a lot of us are Aussies and our attitudes and approach to problems are our own.We also have welding inspectors but ours are quite different to what the AWS define the position as.
There is a long way to go from beginner to AWS Welding Inspector if that is the system you intend to qualify under.
Please take the time to navigate around the forums to view the varied and interesting subjects.
There is a dedicated Welding Forum here so there is a good place to start.
To do this, goto the the FORUM box in the top left hand corner of the screen. Click Forum Home and a scroll down page will come up.
Scroll down the page and the various help pages and sub forums shall be shown.
Please read the Terms of Use on the very top of the scroll down page - they are our rules.
To save time heres the link

Many pages also have a sticky at the top.If you post its always a good idea to check the sticky ,if there is one there.
Please post your questions in the appropriate MetalWork forum.
Again, welcome to our forums.

Hi Xavier,
Below is a chart on the entry qualifications for American Welding Society ( AWS ) Inspector.
Also a chart indication different endorsements for the Certificate - read lots of extra study.

I hope this helps you.
Can we move any further welding conversations to the Welding Forum?
Thanks
