Overview

This course leads to the following qualifications:

The Welding Supervisor qualification AS/NZS 2214-2019: Certification of welding supervisors – Structural steel welding as required by AS/NZS 5131 and the Steel Fabricator Certification (SFC) scheme.
The HERA Certificate of Attainment covering the welding knowledge requirements for CBIP Elevating Work Platforms Inspectors – (Ref CBIP Doc. No: PRO-CER-09).

NOTE:

For those wanting to progress to the HERA Welding Inspector Level 1 – Steel Structures, (including IIW International Welding Inspector IWI-B) this covers the Welding Technology 1 Module (WT1). Further study and exams, the “HERA Welding Inspector Level 1” course and exams must be completed to gain this welding inspection qualification.
The course is also recommended for those preparing for the CBIP Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) examinations for welding technology; Ref. “Knowledge Requirements” in CBIP Doc. No PRO-CER-07).
The course is also ideal for anyone seeking an in-depth knowledge of structural steel welding but who do not require a formal qualification.

The course is available in 2 formats:

HERA Welding Supervisor Course – Consists of one week (40 hours) full-time in the classroom, and a Distance Learning component on the HERA E-learning platform. The Distance Learning requires the completion of a series of assignments online following the classroom course. The one-week classroom component is held in Auckland and Christchurch.

HERA Welding Supervisor Online Course – The is run on-line over a 4-week period as an alternative to the classroom course. It offers a structured learning environment but with more timing flexibility than the classroom course and avoids the cost of travel and accommodation for those from out-of-town.
