AWS Welding (D1.1 & CWI) Prep & Practice
The American Welding Society (AWS) credentialing pathway spans SENSE entry-level welding, the D1.1 Structural Steel code that underpins most US welder qualification tests, and the CWI (Certified Welding Inspector) path. Here's what it covers — with realistic COSMIQ practice.
COSMIQ prepares you for the AWS Welding (D1.1 / CWI) and administers realistic full-length mock tests — it does not administer the real exam or issue a welding certification.
Frequently asked
What does AWS welding prep cover?
Six functional areas: welding safety and PPE; welding processes (SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, GTAW); base and filler metals and metallurgy; blueprint and welding-symbol reading; the AWS D1.1 structural code; and CWI inspection fundamentals.
What is the CWI?
The Certified Welding Inspector (AWS QC1) is a credential for inspecting welds to code. AWS issues it — COSMIQ prepares you and provides realistic practice.
