Distance learning

We deliver welding specialisations and some certification programmes by distance learning through interactive materials. The IWE and IWT follow the current IIW guidelines IAB-252 and IAB-195, and practical exercises take place in the welding shops and laboratories of the Institute.

Which programmes are available by distance learning?

IWE, IWT, IWS by distance learning

International specialisations for welding coordinators, delivered in English.

CIWE by distance learning

Refresher course on developments for welding engineers and an online exam.

PED NDT

NDT training and certificate for pressure equipment (PED).

How does distance learning work?

The materials are available from home on a computer, tablet or smartphone. Besides text and images they contain video content and quizzes. Tutors help with the study materials by email, phone or video conference; technical staff help with technical questions and the administration with everything else. A chat room is available for exchanging opinions.

Because candidates learn from home when it suits them best, they are away from work less. We were the first in the region to offer welding specialisations by distance learning.

The learning environment for candidates (Moodle) is on a separate website.
