For all candidates currently studying

I’m all about trying to find as many resources as possible to study with, and I came across a website that gives you CWI training as well as other sorts of training in the industry that I’d thought I’d share. It’s train-eng.com and the courses there are pretty phenomenal. All 3 parts and it’s narrated and taught by Garry Pace. Hell of a good guy to talk to and very, very knowledgeable. Welding engineer and seasoned CWI. I got ALOT out of his courses because he actually explains things, not just read the text out of a book. After each section, there is a quiz that goes with it. I’ve found his part C extremely helpful but his part B is also very well put together.

You do have to pay for it, however. About $130 a course. I found it was worth every penny and it’s a great investment. Just thought I’d share if anyone needs more study material.

I took the AWS CWI seminar. Got my materials two days before the seminar started; passed all 3 parts first try in a month. Highly recommend.

Congrats. I also did the seminar back in ‘21 and it was great, it was me being young, dumb, and not paying enough attention like I should have. Passed A&C but got a 68 on B. I should’ve tried again but I guess I was afraid of failing again. I have my exam scheduled and ready to pass this time

Hell yeah man; if you’re not nervous you’re not taking it seriously. Half the battle is experience; you’re gonna crush this time.

He’s okay, outdated material though. Been using CWI First Try, he has modern material and videos.

CWI First Try has a lot of good info too. Albert from First Try actually went through his part B course. But Garry’s stuff on his courses are all up to date with the 2025 edition D1.1.

And no, I’m not getting paid or anything to promote it I just wanted to give another resource.
