Aims: A basic aim of the project is to introduce, in Slovenia, an internationally recognized certification system for welding coordinators and lifelong education of personnel managing welding production. On the basis of Slovakian experience we wish to amend the system and add new contents encouraging lifelong learning in the field of welding engineering.
Activities:
Analysis of the state of certification in Europe
Elaboration of the Manual and operating procedures for certification
Training of personnel to perform certification (workshop)
Dissemination at the level of Europe
Pilot seminar as preparation for certification
Certification and issue of certificates
Preparation of a European guideline for lifelong learning of welding coordinators
Presentation of lifelong education to the Slovenian metal-working industry
Organization of a seminar for coordinators in Slovenia
Organization of pilot certification in Slovenia
Pilot certification

Workshop for personnel to perform certification
Information activities for potential participants in certification from Slovenia (articles in Varilna tehnika, information seminar).
Pilot seminar
Preparation for certification
Pilot certification of a group of welding coordinators from Slovenia
Recommendations for lifelong education of welding coordinators.
Impact: Slovenia will participate in the international certification system. The first certificates are to be issued in 2011. Certification will be continued to issue 250 certificates in the next five years. In Slovenia a system of lifelong learning of welding coordinators is to be established. Novelties and improvements shall be transferred into the area of Europe.
Result number 1: Instruction for the operators of certification bodies and implementation of the certification procedure.
Result number 2: Introduction of certification and education intu practic. Demonstration of the importance of certification for European users. Establishment of cooperation with the Slovenian industry.
Result number 3: Pilot seminars for a selected group of welding engineers from Slovenian metal-working industry.
