Photo Identification Card 6/14/2013
AWS Certification Photo Requirements
AWS adopts the same guidelines for photos as does the U.S. Department of State for passport photos. The following guidelines are borrowed and modified from the U.S. Department of State website.
Your photo is a vital part of your application. To learn more, review the information below on how to provide a suitable photo to avoid processing delays. The acceptance of your photo is always at the discretion of the AWS.
We recommend you use a professional passport photo service to ensure your photo meets all the requirements.
If you are applying for a Certification, you must provide one (1) passport-style photograph. Your photo must be:
In color Printed on photo quality paper 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size Sized such that the head is between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (between 25 and 35 mm)
from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head. Taken within the last 6 months to reflect your current appearance Taken in front of a plain white or off-white background Taken in full-face view directly facing the camera With a neutral facial expression and both eyes open Taken in clothing that you normally wear on a daily basis:
o Uniforms should not be worn in your photo, except religious clothing that is worn daily.
o Do not wear a hat or head covering that obscures the hair or hairline, unless worn daily for a religious purpose. Your full face must be visible, and the head covering must not cast any shadows on your face.
o Headphones, wireless hands-free devices or similar items are not acceptable in your photo.
o If you normally wear prescription glasses, a hearing device or similar articles, they may be worn for your photo.
o Dark glasses or non-prescription glasses with tinted lenses are not acceptable unless you need them for medical reasons (a medical certificate may be required)
o Glare on glasses is not acceptable in your photo. Glare can be avoided with a slight downward tilt of the glasses or by removing the glasses or by turning off the camera flash.
Photo Identification Card 6/14/2013
Photos copied or digitally scanned from driver’s licenses or other official documents are not acceptable. In addition, snapshots, magazine photos, low quality vending machine or mobile phone photos, and full-length photographs are not acceptable.
Want to take the photo yourself?
While we recommend you use a professional passport photo service to ensure your photo meets all the requirements, you may take the photo yourself. Hand-held self-portraits are not acceptable. Photos must not be digitally enhanced or altered to change your appearance in any way. Please use reliable references for guidance on taking your own photo. There are several online software tools for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the tool you use produces a photo that meets AWS specifications.
Renewals/Recertification - Change of Appearance
If you cannot be identified from your current photo on file with AWS, you should submit a new photo with your renewal or recertification application.

The VA Licensing & Certification Benefit Can Pay the Costs of an AWS Certification Test
If you're a veteran with G.I. Bill Benefits, and you're looking for a good job, or you want to
change jobs, or if you want to move ahead in your present job, licensing or certification may
hold the key for you!
What's the Licensing and Certification Benefit? The new licensing and certification benefit allows VA (Department of Veterans Affairs) to pay
you, if you're eligible, for a test for a license or certification, such as some of those offered by
AWS. You can receive reimbursement for approved licensing or certification tests you take on or
after March 1, 2001. These tests must be specifically approved for the G.I. Bill.
Note:VA can pay only for the cost of the test and not other fees connected with obtaining a
certification.
Will This Benefit Really Be a Good Deal For Me? In today's business and government climate, having a license or certification can open doors for
you. A license is required for most professions, and for jobs that are subject to state or other
government regulations. Certification is voluntary, but frequently sought after. That's because
getting a certification can help you get, keep, or advance in a job.
(By certification, we mean the certification you get by taking a specific test for a field of
employment, not a certificate you receive for completion of training. However, you can also use
your other VA benefits for many school courses needed to obtain a license or certification.)
In jobs from mechanics, installers, repairers to medical technicians to therapists to computer
network engineers, Web site developers, and many, many others, certification plays a key role.
And of course, certification is key to many fields in the welding professions.
How Much Can I Receive? You can receive reimbursement of up to $2,000 per test but not more than the actual cost of the
test. You can receive benefits to retake a test you failed. The number of tests you can take is
unlimited, except that you can't receive benefits to retake a test you passed.
Note: Your total months of entitlement to VA education benefits will be reduced each time you
use your benefits for licensing and certification. To determine the charge to your entitlement, the
VA divides the cost of the test by your monthly benefit rate for full-time training. For example, if
your test costs $400, and $800 is your full-time rate, you'd use one-half month of entitlement
($400/$800).
Am I Eligible? You may receive this benefit if you're eligible for:
The Montgomery G.I. Bill Active Duty (also called the MGIB or Chapter 30;
unfortunately this benefit isn't available for the MGIB for reservists), or
VEAP (also called Chapter 32), or
Dependents' Educational Assistance (also called DEA or Chapter 35)
To find out if you might be eligible under any of these programs, check the Internet site,
www.gibill.va.gov.
Reminder: You generally have 10 years after your discharge from active duty to use your
benefits.
How Do I Find Out if My Test Has Been Approved? You can find the approved tests at the Internet site, www.gibill.va.gov, on the Licensing and
Certification page. If the test you're taking isn't on the approved list, the VA will ask the state
approving agency to see if it can be approved.
How Do I Apply For Benefits? Get the ball rolling by taking the test and applying for benefits. Simply do the following:
Application for Licensing and Certification Testing Fee Reimbursement Send a copy of your test results to the VA office that handles your education benefits.
Check the map on the Internet site at www.gibill.va.gov. Attacha note with the following
information:
o your request for reimbursement
o your name and Social Security number or VA claim number
o the name of the test you took and the date you took it
o name and address of the organization issuing the license or certificate (not
necessarily the organization that administered the test)
o cost of the test (NOTE: Registration fees, preparation guides, processing fees, etc.
will not be reimbursed).
o the following statement: "I authorize release of my test information to VA."
o if requested, the facility code for AWS is 4-6-0002-10.
If you've never previously filed a claim for VA education benefits, you'll also need to
submit an application for benefits. You can print either of the following forms from the
VA Internet site.
o If you're a veteran or on active duty, you need VA Form 22-1990.
o If you're an eligible child or spouse, you need VA Form 22-5490.
You can also complete and submit the VA Form 22-1990 on-line. Just go to
www.gibill.va.gov and click on Electronic Application.
Or call 1-888-GIBILL-1 (1-888-442-4551) and request the form.
Send the application form along with the other information above to the VA regional office that
processes your claim. The addresses are on the forms.
Who Can I Contact if I Have Questions? If you have questions on the licensing and certification benefit, or on applying for benefits, you
can
Check the Internet site: www.gibill.va.gov. You'll find a link to the Licensing and Certification
page.
Send an e-mail inquiry to the VA Regional Processing Office near you by going to
www.gibill.va.gov and clicking on Ask a Question.
Call 1-888-GIBILL-1 (1-888-442-4551), or for the hearing-impaired, 1-800-829-4833. VA
phone lines are often very busy, especially when school enrollments are heavy. You may have
more success contacting them through the Internet.

RECOMMENDED PRESTUDY FOR PREPARATION FOR CERTIFIED WELDING INSPECTOR/EDUCATOR EXAM COURSE
AT HOBART INSTITUTE OF WELDING TECHNOLOGY If you are planning to take the CWI course and exam and you would like to study prior to the course, you may consider:
1. Obtain a copy of the AWS QC1 Standard for AWS Certification of Welding Inspectors. This is available free as a download from the American Welding Society website at http://www.aws.org/certification/docs/QC1-2007.pdf . This is the standard for all AWS-CWIs. Read it completely.
2. When you have selected the code you will use for the Part C – Open Code Book part of the exam, you should purchase that code book. This may be purchased from http://www.welding.org/c-24-welding-codes-and-specifications.aspx or directly from the publisher. Look how it is organized: the table of contents, the index. Learn how to find information quickly and understand what each section covers. Bring this code book with you to the class.
3. Obtain a copy of the AWS – Part B Examination Book of Specifications. This is available free as a download from the American Welding Society website at http://www.aws.org/certification/docs/Book_of_Specs_Eng_2008.pdf Read it from cover-to-cover including the footnotes. This book of specifications is the standard you will use for the Part B examination.
4. If you are experienced in welding but have limited experience in welding inspection, you may choose to attend the Arc Welding Inspection Course (AWI520) at the Hobart Institute to get basic inspection training. http://www.welding.org/p-160-arc-welding-inspection.aspx. This course is not a prerequisite requirement for the CWI course, but can be very beneficial for someone starting out in welding inspection.
5. If you cannot attend the Arc Welding Inspection Course, you may want to purchase the
AWS Certification Manual for Welding Inspectors. http://www.welding.org/c-18-aws-books.aspx . It is for self-study. Read each section and answer the questions at the end of each section.
6. If you lack welding process experience, you may want to take the 4-day Welding for the Nonwelder course at Hobart Institute. http://www.welding.org/p-159-welding-for-the-non-welder.aspx. It provides welding process information and hands-on practice with oxyacetylene welding, shielded metal arc, gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc and flux cored arc welding processes.
7. You may take the online Welding Symbols, Visual Inspection and Welding
Discontinuities and Defects courses at http://www.welding.org/c-54-online-courses.aspx on the Hobart Institute website. Watch that site for future courses.
