No previous knowledge is required. This course presents concepts in clear, easy-to-understand language and easily digestible chunks of information. We will start at the beginning, explain every term and topic, and provide practice questions to ensure learners understand the material. However, students with no welding background whatsoever may benefit from gaining a general understanding of basic welding processes and welding terminology. This prerequisite knowledge can be obtained by:
- Taking the AWS Welding Fundamentals I online course
- Taking the AWS Welding Fundamentals II online course
- Obtaining and reading a copy of AWS A3.0 Standard Terms and Definitions
This course teaches students how to:
- Provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of the most used brazing and soldering processes, including torch, furnace, dip, and induction brazing, as well as iron, torch, furnace, dip, and wave soldering
- Teach learners about the basic science, equipment, consumables, process variables, safety precautions, and advantages and disadvantages inherent to each brazing and soldering process
- Present course content in short, easy-to-understand modules, using a variety of multimedia resources
Upon completion of Welding Fundamentals III, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the basic science and practical application of the most used brazing and soldering processes. Identify the specific equipment, consumables, process variables, safety precautions, and advantages and disadvantages inherent to each brazing and soldering process
- Analyze and evaluate the suitability of different brazing and soldering processes for specific applications
- Demonstrate intermediate-level brazing and soldering skills related to the covered processes
- Interpret and apply brazing and soldering codes and standards related to the covered processes
- Apply theoretical knowledge of brazing and soldering to practical scenarios involving the covered processes
- Communicate effectively with peers and colleagues regarding brazing and soldering processes, equipment, consumables, safety precautions, and results

-
Do I need to purchase any other materials?
Yes. This course is designed to be used in conjunction with the D1.1 code book. Using the code book helps participants replicate and practice the navigational strategies that are required to successfully complete the open book portion (Part C) of the CWI exam.
-
Do I receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for completing this course?
Yes. Participants that receive a score of 75% or above on the Completion Exam will receive an AWS Certificate of Completion and 0.4 IACET Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
-
Does this course include a completion exam?
Yes. Upon completion of the final course module, participants are prompted to take an online exam designed to evaluate their comprehension of the subject matter. The online practice exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions and must be completed within a 2-hour period. Participants who do not attain the 75% passing score may attempt to retake the exam a second time. Participants who pass the online practice exam earn an AWS Certificate of Completion and 4 Professional Development Hours (PDHs). The AWS Certificate of Completion can be downloaded and printed directly from the webpage.
-
Do I receive Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for completing this course?
Yes. Participants who receive a score of 75% or above on the practice exam will receive an AWS Certificate of Completion and 4 Professional Development Hours (PDHs).
-
How long do I have to complete this course?
Participants have access to the course content 24-hours a day for a period of 30 days from the date of registration.
