This will also improve the productivity, efficiency and global competitiveness of such suppliers. To assist companies to train their staff to undertake this role as Responsible Welding Coordinator, the WTIA OzWeld School of Welding Technology and WTIA IIW Approved Training Bodies (ATBs) are offering, during 2008, the only courses, both public and in-house, in Australia which satisfy the full requirements for the globally recognised International Institute of Welding (IIW) qualifications.
