Why does coded welding matter?

First, what is a Coded Welder? To put it simply, a Coded Welder is someone who has completed a welder approval test in a specific welding configuration. The welding code system is created to demonstrate a welder has the knowledge and skills to carry out work to industry standard requirements.

For the companies out there: without a doubt your customers place great emphasis on quality assurance. Therefore quality training for welders makes good business sense for you! Professionally trained and certified Coded Welders reduce the need for rework, with its associated costs, whilst improving repeatability, quality and productivity.

European standards reinforce the importance of welding competence, placing stringent controls on the industry for the protection of the end user. As a result of this, companies are seeking to not only improve the skills & capabilities of their welders through practical training, but also to demonstrate their competence by completing testing and certification.

Assessment

For experienced welders looking at getting coded, we ask delegates to join us for a half-day assessment. The objective of the session is to assess the welders’ aptitude and current skill level in the chosen process, to agree the level of certification that the client is aiming for and therefore identify the content and duration of the required training programme.

The assessment process is planned as follows:

1. The Assessor will discuss the welders’ experience and personal aims, whilst taking the welder’s company objectives in regards to the individual welder into consideration, so that all parties can fully understand and agree the levels that need to be attained.

2. Secondly, on the day of the assessment, the attendee will be given practical exercises to undertake unaided, so that his current abilities can be assessed and any weaknesses identified for particular attention during the training programme.

After the session, the Assessor will submit an evaluation report, documenting the current skills level, and a training recommendation report outlining the content and duration of the training needed to attain the required coded status. All testing is taken off-site to Zurich Laboratories, where various tests take place such as bend test, acid test etc. All tests are professionally witnessed by an external verifier from Zurich. We do not offer in-house codings as some companies do, as they are not recognised in the industry.

How do we charge for our service?

Half-day assessments are available regularly and are priced at £100 (including VAT).

We are confident in the quality of our training and delivery. If you follow our recommended training package and do not pass, we will offer a free retest. If you choose to proceed with less training than we recommend, you may do so; however, this option does not include free retesting.

If you also require welding procedures alongside your coding, we can provide these. To give you an accurate quote, we will need some specific information first. Please contact us by submitting an enquiry through our system, calling us on 02476 363 663, or emailing [email protected].
