Over 15 of QAL’s team members completed the week-long course to gain the IIW International Welding Inspector Basic (IWI-B) qualification, which is recommended in both AS/NZS ISO 3834 and AS/NZS 1554.1. According to Joe Sandor (Welding Technology Trainer, Weld Australia), who ran the course, “All the QAL team members who completed the course were great—they were all really on the ball. All the participants enjoyed the course, with quite a few them of saying that the course was much better than they expected.” Weld Australia also delivered IWI-B training course at Nambour TAFE in Queensland earlier this month. Ross O’Bryan (Welding Technology Trainer, Weld Australia) spent a week presenting the course to a group of TAFE Queensland (East Coast and South West) teachers, as well as an employee of Allweld Manufacturing. All the feedback received by Weld Australia was extremely positive.
