AF-01: SELF-ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST FOR CLAIMING EXEMPTION FROM TRAINING FOR MODULE SWT16A
FOR INTERNATIONAL WELDING INSPECTOR STANDARD LEVEL (IWI S) QUALIFICATION
This form can be used to guide students in self-assessing their qualifications and experience to exempt themselves from Module SWT-16A of the IWI S training
programme. See also Factsheet IWI S -01 & IWI S -02. The following notes apply:
Note 1: Candidates may decide after self-assessment, on the basis of prior learning and/or experience, whether to take the Welding Technology Module (SWT 16A) first or proceed
directly to the Welding Inspection Module (SWT 16B).
Note 2: A pass in the WTS examination is required before results of the Welding Inspection Module examinations can be released to the candidate.
Note 3: If the candidate fails the WTS examination, having exercised an option to proceed directly to that examination, he/she must take the omitted training module SWT-16A before
re-sitting the examination.
Note 4: The number of training hours are indicated against each topic of the SWT-16A syllabus, in the table given below to assist in the self-assessment process.
