ORBITAL, MANUAL & WELD EXAMINER COURSES
At OWETEC, we provide world-class welding training services and certification programs that prepare welders and organizations to meet the highest global industry standards. Based in the United States and serving companies worldwide, we deliver orbital welding training, manual welding certification programs, and weld examiner inspection training to help organizations build a skilled workforce and maintain strict code compliance.
OUR INSTRUCTORS
Our instructors are Certified Weld Inspectors (CWI) and Certified Weld Educators (CWE) with over a decade of hands-on field experience. Whether your team operates in semiconductor, aerospace, nuclear, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, or oil & gas, OWETEC delivers accredited training that ensures safety, compliance, and long-term performance excellence.
Orbital Weld Training
Take your career to the next level with our Orbital Weld Training Courses. Designed for welders, engineers, and QA professionals, these programs cover orbital GTAW welding from setup and programming to inspection and code compliance. You’ll gain hands-on experience with the techniques required in aerospace, semiconductor, biopharma, oil & gas, and nuclear industries. Graduates leave ready to meet ASME, AWS, and global welding standards while operating confidently with orbital welding systems used worldwide.
Manual Weld Training
Our Manual Welding Training prepares welders to succeed in pipe, structural, and pressure vessel applications. Students build advanced skills in SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, and FCAW processes, progressing through 2G–6G positions with real-world fit-ups and industry-required destructive and non-destructive testing. Whether you’re aiming for a career in piping, fabrication, or heavy industrial welding, this course provides the certifications, safety knowledge, and hands-on experience employers demand.
