I am not sure if I am in the right place to be posting this message, so I apologise if I'm not!
I have completed an apprenticeship in marine engineering and have further experience in welding in a manufacturing environment. I have been told by my senior officers that we carry no 'coded welders' on board our ships and, consequently when we require certain jobs to be done (such as tank welding, ship side welds and pressure vessel repairs) we have to contract somebody to come on board and carry out repairs. So, I am hoping to gain the necessary qualifications to enable myself, and other engineers on board who qualify, to carry out such jobs ourselves.
Basically, I am looking for information on the coding system and how you become a 'coded welder'.
I hope somebody here can help me or at least point me in the right direction!!
Many thanks,
Lisa.
