About the programme

From plate welding to 6G pipe practice

Fabricators and contractors abroad test every new welder on a coupon, in the position and process the job needs

Saudi Arabia checks welders from India through its Skill Verification Program at accredited test centres in India, and many European employers ask for an ISO 9606-1 welder certificate, so the programme prepares you for both tests
