LADBS Approved Welder Test Center Since 2024

Train and test for the LA City Welder Certification and get dual certified by the AWS with the same test!

We offer LA City Welder Performance Qualification testing to anyone who wishes to attain an LA City welder certification. The tests are run by our AWS Certified Welding Inspector at our AWS and LADBS Accredited Test Facility using our calibrated equipment and certified materials. All you need to do is show up with your gear ready to weld. We provided everything else.

Tests are offered direct to individuals and to companies that require their employees hold AWS and or LA City certifications. We also perform bespoke testing for companies that have their own Welding Procedures to meet internal or project requirements.

We offer testing everyday in the following welder technologies: GMAW (MIG), FCAW-S/G  (FluxCore), SMAW (Stick), GTAW (TIG), and Oxy / Acetylene torches.
