4.2.1 International Welding Engineer IWE Eligibility

✔ A copy of a diploma showing graduation in an engineering subject complying with


the Access Conditions.
✔ A curriculum vitae (CV) - resume containing professional information:
✔ evidence of at least 4 years job function in welding at the level of an engineer (in
a period of 6 years before application);
✔ Justification of candidate’s experience, training, and education to become IWE
(may include other test results as per all 4 Modules).

Applicants who satisfy the Access Conditions AND already hold an IWT diploma
should be considered under the Alternative Route

The full ANB detailed assessment shall contain: (Ref Page 105)
a) A detailed paper assessment (checklist with points)
b) A project or a technical interview to test logical application of knowledge
regarding the relevant guideline Module 4 syllabus.
The sequence of this assessment shall be determined by the ANB. It is at the
discretion of the ANB to terminate the assessment and send the candidate back
or into the standard route. The paper assessment shall be based on a review of
the applicant’s experience and education against the IIW guideline and access
conditions. This review will be based on the information provided by the
applicant, as outlined in his/her Curriculum Vitae and in supporting
documentation which may include course outline, transcripts, certification
documents, diplomas, degrees, etc.

Project Work :Alternative Route for IWE/IWT:

● After thorough Paper Assessment of Application and all documents, if a


candidate obtains at least 50 % in each Module, he has to submit a Project
Report in the form of a case study to test logical application of knowledge
regarding the relevant guideline Module 4 of the syllabus. The Candidate may
propose 2/3 topics based on his own contribution and participation relating to a
welding related job and may presents a set of documents (construction
drawings - part of a construction, list of materials, materials certificates, NDT
reports, destructive testing reports, WPQRs, WPSs, Welder’s Approvals), these
documents may be from the company where the applicant is currently employed..
The ANB will finally approve the topic for submission.
● The Project of to be completed within 4 weeks after being intimated by the IIW-
India ANB for IWE & within 3 weeks after being intimated by the IIW-India ANB
for IWT
The Project Work may include a practical part and may be based on the candidate’s
actual job experience and work. After completion of the project the candidate has to
submit a report, the same will be evaluated and if approved will be required to make an
oral presentation before a constituted Board of Examiners.

The project work is detailed as following:
