A Welding Supervisor qualification expands your career horizons enormously. Both AS 2214 and AS 1796 Certificate 10 meet the requirements outlined in AS/NZS 1554.1 to supervise the welding of structural steel. Similarly, AS 1796 Certificate 10 meets the requirement for a welding supervisor under AS 1210 for pressure vessels. Welding Supervisors play a vital role in industry—they understand the factors that influence welding quality, how to oversee welders effectively, and the variables that help maximise productivity.
Course Delivery
The Welding Supervisor course includes three, one week blocks of face-to-face teaching. All participants must write Paper A which is common to both AS2214 and AS1796. Then either Paper B1 or B2 depending on your prerequisite qualifications and whether you would like to have the AS1796 Cert 10 or AS2214 Welding Supervisor qualification. Only one qualification can be completed during this course, but you can study and write the other Paper B in the next course session.
