Certification Maintenance

Stay current with required visual testing and code-compliant log updates.

Overview

Most welding certifications require renewal or activity log validation every six months. Our Certification Maintenance option provides a quick, professional way to keep your credentials active. Through a scheduled visual observation test, we’ll help confirm your ongoing qualification so you can avoid certification lapses and meet industry requirements. It’s simple, code-aligned, and keeps you on track.

Validate your welder performance qualification test record before it expires. Most welding codes require renewal or activity log validation every 6 months. We offer visual observation tests to help maintain your active status and avoid lapses in certification.

Don’t let your welder certification expire—keep your log up to date.
