Welding Continuity

It is a member’s responsibility to keep their certifications up to date.

Continuity is good for six (6) months from a test date and six (6) months thereafter as long as it is prior to the expiration of the six (6) month period. 

How To Update A Welding Certification

If a member is working and believes their certifications are about to lapse, the member can have a contractor submit a welder continuity form directly through their QAQC (Quality Assurance Quality Control) program. The form may be downloaded by clicking on the file button below.

If the member has not been working and believes their certifications are about to lapse, an update can be performed at the training center during its hours of operation.
