International Institute of Welding ( IIW)/ European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting (EWF) Diploma of International Welding Specialist (IWS)/ European Welding Specialist (EWS) Diploma of International Welding Technologist (IWT)/ European Welding Technologist (EWT) Diploma of International Welding Engineer (IWE)/ European Welding Engineer (EWE)
IIW/EWF Diploma in Welding An internationally recognised qualification supported by the International Institute of Welding (IIW) and the European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting (EWF) for assessing the competence of tasks and responsibilities during welding coordination (BS EN ISO 14731). BS EN ISO 14731: 2006 Welding Coordination – Tasks and Responsibilities, specifies that responsible welding coordination personnel shall be able to demonstrate adequate general and specific knowledge in welding and allied processes to perform these tasks. Such knowledge must be the result of a combination of theory, training and experience. Personnel holding IIW/EWF Diploma are qualified to perform welding coordination activities as described in ISO 14731 whose compliance is required by BS EN ISO 3834 (Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials) . In its Part 1 (Criteria for the selection of the appropriate level of quality requirements), BS EN ISO 3834 states that in order ‘to ensure sound and effective manufacturing, management needs to understand and appreciate the sources of potential trouble and to implement appropriate procedures for their control ¹. This standard identifies measures applicable in different circumstances, being two of the most representative contractual situations and assessment of welding quality performance between customers, manufacturers and third parties. In consequence, the compliance of 14731 and 3834 are priorities in the success of any metallic welding-related business.
Course Outline The IIW/EWF Diploma in Welding consists of three different levels – specialist (foundation), technologist (intermediate) and engineer (advanced) or IWS/EWS, IWT/EWT and IWE/EWE respectively. Although the topics covered in each level are similar (as explained below) the depth and breadth are progressively increased towards the engineer level. The goals of each level are in line with the responsibilities outlined in BS EN ISO 14731.¹ Specialist (IWS/EWS) Personnel with basic technical knowledge where the level of technical knowledge needs to be sufficient for the planning, executing, supervising and testing of the tasks and responsibilities within a limited technical field involving only simple welded constructions. Technologist (IWT/EWT) Personnel with specific technical knowledge where the level of technical knowledge needs to be sufficient for the planning, executing, supervising and testing of the tasks and responsibilities in welding fabrication within a selective or limited technical field. Engineer (IWE/EWE) Personnel with comprehensive technical knowledge where full technical knowledge is required for the planning, executing, supervising and testing of all tasks and responsibilities in welding fabrication. __________________________________ ¹These extracts from BS EN ISO 14731:2006 and BS EN ISO 3834 are included to illustrate a particular point. In order to fully understand the requirements of the standard, please consult the complete standard.

IIW/EWF Diploma in Welding Modules
Each level (Specialist, Technologist and Engineer) consists of four modules:
Welding processes and equipment (WPE) Materials and their behaviour during welding (MAB) Design and construction (DAC) Fabrication and applications engineering (FAA)
There are two supplementary modules only for the Specialist level:
Advanced welding processes and equipment (AWP) Practical welding technology (PWT)
In summary, via the standard route, IWS/EWS requires completion of six modules, IWT/EWT of ten and IWE/EWE of fourteen. The duration of each module is one week and finishes with an exam.
