Hobart Institute of Welding Technology, Troy, Ohio, offers the one-week course Preparation for the AWS Certified Welding Supervisor Examination. The class begins Sept. 24 and will be offered again beginning Nov. 12.
The course will be taught by Hobart instructors Elmer Swank, Chuck Ford, Nelson Morales, and Russ Schurtz—all have obtained the welding supervisor certification (AWS-CWS). The instructors will conduct the AWS-CWS exam on the last day of the course.

Subjects covered in the examination include personnel management, supervision, qualification of personnel, safety, welding preparation and fabrication, planning, control, equipment, quality management, quality control, and codes and quality management. Candidates must apply for the exam and gain acceptance from the AWS certification department.
