Review of welder and operator qualifications, welding experience and intended certification scope. Assessment identifies whether current skills, materials and processes align with the relevant standard before entering qualification testing.

Welder and operator certification support
Prepare welders and operators for accredited certification with verified testing and documentation.
Companies that employ welders and operators must demonstrate that personnel, procedures and documentation meet the requirements for accredited certification. Missing test records, unclear Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) or incomplete qualification documentation often lead to failed tests, non-compliance and costly delays.
Establishing clarity before certification
This service is part of our expertise area Welding technologies and supports preparation for welder and operator certification by verifying that welding procedures, test conditions and records align with applicable standards. Qualification documentation is reviewed, gaps are identified and practical guidance is provided before the official certification test. The result is a smoother certification process, fewer retests and documented readiness for accredited assessment.
Challenges
Poor preparation puts welder and operator certification at risk
Incorrect test preparation leads to rejected results
When welding tests are not prepared or carried out in line with the applicable standard, results cannot be accepted during certification review.
Missing traceability prevents verification
Gaps between materials, welding procedures and test records make it impossible for the certifying body to confirm compliance.
Non-representative test conditions trigger retesting
Qualification tests that do not reflect actual production welding often require welders and operators to repeat testing.
Poor certificate management causes loss of validity
Missed renewals or confirmations result in expired certificates and interruptions to welding work.
Benefits
Prepare welders and operators for successful certification
Aligned preparation, reduced rework
Preparation and documentation are closely aligned with FORCE Certification requirements, ensuring complete records and fewer non-conformities prior to testing.
Verified compliance, fewer surprises
Review of WPS, materials and qualification ranges confirms that welding data and traceability meet applicable standards.
Clear documentation, easier renewals
Structured recordkeeping and guidance on certificate validity and extension help prevent lapses and interruptions in welding work.
