Problems Solved
What this course fixes
WPS ranges that do not actually cover production work
PQR test results mismatched to the procedure
Client rejection of qualification packages late in the project
Learning Outcomes
What participants can do after the programme
Outcomes are written as tasks, not topics — so managers can verify capability back at work.
- Draft a compliant WPS with correct qualified ranges
- Plan PQR testing efficiently to cover the widest production scope
- Manage welder qualification, continuity and identification
- Audit an existing procedure library and close gaps
Course Outline
Detailed programme content
Day 1 — Procedure Qualification
- Section IX structure, P-numbers, F-numbers and A-numbers
- Essential, supplementary essential and non-essential variables
- Mechanical testing requirements and interpretation
Day 2 — Performance Qualification & Audit
- Welder qualification ranges and continuity records
- Building a procedure library matched to your production scope
- Workshop: audit three real WPS/PQR packages
Practical Work
Practical exercises and case studies
Sessions are built around calculations, data interpretation and technical decisions. Case material is generic or anonymised — no client-confidential project data is used.
Reviewing sample PQR packages to identify unsupported or missing essential variables
Writing a WPS from a qualified PQR and checking supported ranges
Welder qualification range exercises for thickness, position and diameter
Case discussion: qualifying a procedure for an unexpected material substitution
Trainer Profile
Delivered by Azman Yusof
Senior Trainer — Welding, NDT & QA/QC
18 years industry experience
Azman has qualified hundreds of welding procedures and rejected plenty of them. His sessions run on real radiographs, real PQR packages and real client NCRs, so participants leave able to defend a weld package in front of a client inspector.
Real project exposure
- WPS/PQR qualification programme for an offshore jacket fabrication yard in Lumut
- Weld repair rate reduction programme at a structural fabrication shop in Pasir Gudang
- Third-party QA/QC oversight for pipeline tie-ins in Terengganu
Certifications
- CSWIP 3.1 Welding Inspector
- ASNT NDT Level III (UT, RT, MT, PT)
- IWE — International Welding Engineer
Trainer allocation is confirmed in your proposal. Substitute trainers hold equivalent certification and sector experience.
