Welder Certification Program
Building Confidence Through Certified Welding
The WABO Welder Certification Program was developed in response to a need for a uniform method of determining qualifications and testing procedures for certification of structural welders and welding operators. The voluntary certification program provides a means of documenting welding and testing qualifications and competency in structural welding.
The program provides for certification in the following categories:
Structural Welder
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
- Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
- Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
- Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW)
Sheet Steel Welder
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
- Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
- Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
- Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW)
Welding Operator
- Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
Reinforced Steel Welder
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
- Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
- Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW)
Seismic Restricted Access Welder
(Prerequisite: WABO Certification for Field Structural Welder in Applicable Process)
- Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
- Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW)
