Relevance

Industry pundits would be aware that there are differing welding and engineering standards between America and Australia, and so might question the relevance of the American Welding Society for Australian industry. 

• International Standards
  Some international projects use American standards, for example, it’s very likely portions of the upcoming AUKUS project will utilise international and likely American standards. It would be astute for Australian businesses seeking participation in this and other international projects to have staff qualified to operate in the Amercian standards.
• Similar skills
  The skillsets behind managing and delivering welding in Australia are very similar as those required to comply with American welding standards.

Resources

American Welding Society has a comprehensive range of welding education resources, many of which are not available in Australia. As the Amercian Welding Society’s local representative, Australian Welding Solutions can supply these resources for your organisation.

Australian Welding Solutions can also blend the American Welding Society training resources with local knowledge and skills to deliver highly relevant training for the Australian welding industry.
