Overview of the CWI Part C Course Material

This online exam preparatory course will prepare you for the AWS CWI exam by covering Part C of your choice of endorsements. This course is designed for the API 1104 endorsement and provides all the content that you need to pass the exam. See our other option for CWI.

Our CWI Part A, B, and C courses are AWS approved for 20 hours each and you can accumulate a total of 60 hours if you take all three parts. AWS accepts these hours for either re-testing purposes or as professional development hours towards a 9-year renewal.

The CWI Part C API 1104 course is designed to prepare you for the AWS exam by narrated using lessons, practice quizzes, audio flashcards, and timed practice exams. Our unique online system sets us apart from other Part C API 1104 training courses. This exam prep course provides the tools that you need to pass the API 1104. The online system is both convenient and economical.

If you are taking the Part C only and you need a certificate to show the training, this course will provide the 20 training hours for the AWS. Contact us upon completion, and we will send you a certificate to turn in to the AWS.

We are so confident in our comprehensive curriculum that we offer the course for free for anyone who does not pass on their first attempt using our course. The fee for the Part C online course is $399.

Part C – API 1104

As of January 2023, all three Part C choices are still open book exams at the Prometric Centers and you can take in your code book. AWS has a web posting stating that they are still evaluating the use of pdfs for the exam in 2023.

This Atlas course will cover the API 1104 material and is accepted by both the AWS and the API. For this Part C course, there are 13 lessons with 400 Q and A’s and three hours of Audio Flashcards.

This standard covers the gas and arc welding of butt, fillet, and socket welds in carbon and low-alloy steel piping used in the compression, pumping, and transmission of crude petroleum, petroleum products, fuel gases, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and, where applicable, covers welding on distribution systems. As well as covering procedures and acceptance standards for popular NDT methods.

The open book exam contains questions from every aspect of the code. They are arranged in no particular order, so navigation of the code is critical. In order to efficiently navigate the code, you must be able to determine which clause the answer is in simply by reading the question. The Table of Contents and Index should not be relied on as the main navigational tools but reserved as assistance. This may sound excessive, however if there’s one thing that will make the exam more manageable, it’s efficiently navigating the code.

Please Note the Following:

Our goal at Atlas is to provide you the necessary tools to pass the AWS CWI certification exam the very first time you try. Many of our students have considered themselves more hands-on when it comes to training courses. After taking our online training courses, these students have discovered that not only is online training a more economical way to prepare for a certification exam, but that online training is just a better way to learn the material. With the online training course, the student can start and stop whenever he/she may want. Students may also progress at their own pace, repeat material when needed, and use the interactive quizzes to train. This is by far the easiest way to study. The Atlas 48 hour money back guarantee means that you can check out the course with zero risks. If you are not happy with your purchase, we will gladly refund your money with no questions asked.

RECERTIFICATION

A Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) needs to complete 80 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) of courses, seminars, or online courses to maintain their certification. These courses must meet the requirements of AWS Specification for the Certification of Welding Inspectors (AWS QC1:2016-AMD1) and cover subjects defined in the Education and Experience Requirements of AWS Specification for the Qualification of Welding Inspectors (AWS B5.1:2013-AMD1).

Add One Endorsement:

A CWI can pursue adding an endorsement to their certification. Successful completion (passing exam score) will meet the requirements for CWI recertification. A CWI can pursue the endorsement option up to (11) months prior to the current CWI certification expiration date. A CWI must choose one of the endorsements from the list below. Endorsements require passing an exam. The following courses are eligible for endorsement:

AWS D1.1 Structural Steel

AWS D1.5 Bridge Welding (Coming Soon)

AWS D15.1 Railroad (Coming Soon)

AWS D17.1 Aerospace

API 1104 Pipelines

Structural Bolting Inspection

Important Note: AWS QC1:2016-AMD1 defines endorsement as an added skill in one's certification credentials. Pursuing an endorsement during 9-year recertification requires a different code book than the one used for current active CWI certification.

ENDORSEMENTS OR CERTIFICATIONS ACHIEVED PRIOR TO 9-YEAR RECERTIFICATION:

Endorsements: A CWI who has previously taken and passed one or more endorsement exams prior to the 9-year cycle may apply for recertification without having to meet further examination, professional development hour, or seminar requirements.

9-Year Recertification Course: As an alternative to the previous permitted options, a CWI can register and successfully complete the AWS 9-Year Recertification Course. The successful completion of the course meets the requirements for CWI recertification.
