Changes to Welding Qualifications
From 1 April 2024, the certification for I-CAR Automotive Steel MIG Welding, MIG Brazing Hands-On Skill Qualification and the Aluminium MIG Welding Qualification will move to a quarterly expiry.
What will this mean for you?
This will mean that your welding qualification will expire at the end of the quarter three years from when you were tested. ie if you were tested 01/02/2024 you certificate would expire on the 31/03/2027 rounded forward to the end of the nearest quarter.
For those technicians who have a current I-CAR Steel MIG Welding, MIG Brazing Hands-On Skill Qualification or the Aluminium MIG Welding Qualification the expiry on the certificates already issued will remain the same.
It is envisaged that this system will allow for speedier processing of tests.
