What was discussed- • Vocational, Diploma, Certificate and A.A.S Welding-NDT-Quality Programs- A.A.S. program options, and why I think are good options for those entering the field-wanting to really go to the next level as a welding technician, inspector supervisor, NDT Engineer, Level III, Quality Manager, Auditor, Technician, etc. • Importance of AWS SENSE (Schools Excelling Through National Skills Education aligned programs and curriculum guidelines or equivalent. Does the welding education program have a Certified Welding Inspector Educator or experienced technical instructor with welding skills?  Are they or the program active with AWS Education and Membership?  • Private Welder Training programs, usually several are more costly and focus more on “arc on time” -to get you employed, typically, (not all) less on the science and technical aspects, of course, a good option for many in career transitioning, needing employment expedited, there is a balance. • AWS Welding Journal April 202O issue includes 50 programs/colleges and private welding programs, as well as several relevant short articles in that month -publication… again a great benefit of membership, is discussed in the last episode. • ABET and ACCSC Accreditation of programs one should consider and verify if the program has.   • Checking and confirming the instructor’s qualifications, and certifications for both welding and NDT. Is he/she certified in multiple welding processes, both plate, pipe, carbon and alloy steels, stainless, and aluminum or do they have limited qualifications/certifications? Is the NDT instructor qualified as ASNT NDT Level III in the methods instructing? Do they have real industry hands-on experience working or most just in teaching? • ASNT Materials Evaluation September 2020 periodical includes a monthly calendar for organizations offering NDT training courses to the public and yearly has an Education Spotlight of many NDT Training programs, again a great benefit of membership discussed last episode.
