Need a code for the Job?
Weld tests or Coded welder are becoming an increasingly popular requirement to qualify welders prior to their mobilisation to site. Weld tests can be completed under Kangaroo Training weld procedures, or the employer may choose to supply their own site-specific weld procedures for the candidate to follow. Once the candidate has completed their weld test to the required procedure, the piece is sent off for non-destructive testing. Results are usually received within 2-3 working days.
