What is a welder qualification?

A welder qualification is a process that examines and documents a welder’s capability to create welds of acceptable quality following a well-defined welding procedure in accordance with Australian and or International Standards. This qualification is also a demonstrated and documented measure of competency of the welder for employers who have an obligation to provide training to staff, a duty of care to ensure personnel are trained and competent to undertake the requested tasks (Work Heath Safety act 2012).
