Description
🎓 ASME Section IX Welding Qualification Training — live online training from 3D-LABS, taught by practising design engineers who build the calculators and software used on EPC projects every day.
⏱ Duration: 3 weeks · 🕑 Schedule: 2 hrs/day, weekday or weekend batches · 📶 Level: Beginner to Intermediate · 💻 Mode: Live online, every session recorded
👷 Who this course is for
Welding engineers, QA/QC staff and fabrication supervisors who write, qualify or audit welding documentation, and engineers who review vendor WPS and PQR submissions.
📚 Course structure
- How Section IX is organised — Articles I to V, the relationship with the construction codes, and where each variable table lives.
- Variables explained — Essential, non-essential and supplementary essential variables, and what each one does to a qualification.
- Writing a WPS — Building a procedure specification process by process, with ranges that cover the work you actually do.
- Qualifying through a PQR — Test coupons, mechanical testing, acceptance, and the ranges a PQR supports.
- Welder performance qualification — Position and thickness ranges, test requirements, continuity records and requalification triggers.
- Special processes and cases — Dissimilar metals, overlay and cladding, hardfacing, and brazing qualification.
- Documentation and audits — Record sets, traceability, common third-party audit findings and how to close them.
- Review practice — Auditing real WPS, PQR and WPQ records and listing the non-conformances.
🧮 3D-LABS calculators and software you will use
The course is built around the qualification paperwork itself — you work with real WPS, PQR and WPQ forms, variable range trackers and heat input sheets from our engineering calculator library, and keep every template at the end.
- WPS and PQR essential variable range tracker
- Welder qualification position and thickness ranges
- Heat input and interpass temperature calculation
- Test coupon and mechanical test planner
- Welder continuity and requalification log
- Dissimilar metal and overlay qualification checklist
🖥 Tools, codes and standards covered
ASME Section IX with ASME Section VIII Div 1, ASME B31.3 and AWS D1.1 cross-references.
📦 What is included
- Certificate of completion issued by 3D-LABS
- Lifetime access to course notes and session recordings
- Working calculators and templates used in class
- A guided mini-project with reviewed deliverables
- Doubt-clearing support with the trainer after the batch ends
🎯 What you can do after this course
Write a WPS that covers your scope, run a PQR correctly, qualify welders without wasted coupons, and pass a client or third-party documentation audit.

About ASME Section IX Welding Qualification Training
ASME Section IX Welding Qualification Training is a 3D-LABS Engineering course designed for engineers, technical professionals, and students. By the end of this course, you will be able to gain immediately applicable skills for your engineering work. The course combines live-cohort sessions (weekends) with self-paced material available 24/7.
Who ASME Section IX Welding Qualification Training is for
ASME Section IX Welding Qualification Training is designed for:
- Early-career engineers wanting to accelerate practical skills in the topic.
- Experienced engineers moving into a new domain or refreshing their working knowledge.
- Team leads wanting to level-set junior team members on a specific skill.
- Students preparing for professional roles in the discipline.
What is included
- Live-cohort sessions — weekend sessions with the instructor, 2 hours each, recorded for those who cannot attend live.
- Self-paced modules — recorded lessons, exercises, and reference material available 24/7 in your account.
- Project-based assessment — real-project deliverable at the end, not a multiple-choice quiz.
- Certificate of completion — verifiable online at 3d-labs.com/verify.
- 12 months of access — pace yourself, revisit material anytime within the access window.
- Access to spreadsheet library — course-relevant subset of the 621 3D-LABS engineering spreadsheets included at no extra cost.
Course structure and duration
Total duration: 6-12 weeks depending on scope. Each week: 2 hours live session + 3-5 hours self-paced material + 2-4 hours applied exercises. Total commitment: 7-11 hours per week. Compatible with a full-time job — most students work through the course alongside their day job.

Frequently asked questions
How is ASME Section IX Welding Qualification Training delivered?
ASME Section IX Welding Qualification Training combines live-cohort sessions with self-paced material. Live sessions run on weekends (2 hours, IST time zone) and are recorded for those who cannot attend live. Self-paced material — recorded lessons, exercises, and reference documents — is available in your account 24/7.
What is the course duration?
Typical duration: 3 weeks. You have 12 months of access from purchase, so you can pace yourself. Live cohort sessions run in defined 3 week windows — you can join the current cohort or wait for the next one.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. After completing all lessons and passing the final assessment (typically a project deliverable, not a multiple-choice quiz), you receive a certificate of completion from 3D-LABS. The certificate is verifiable online at 3d-labs.com/verify.
Who teaches the course?
Courses are taught by senior 3D-LABS engineers with 10-20+ years of industry experience. Instructor bios are on the course page. This is applied engineering practice from working engineers, not academic theory.
What if the course does not meet my expectations?
7-day satisfaction guarantee. If you have attended the first live session or completed the first module of self-paced material and are not satisfied, email us within 7 days for a full refund. After 7 days, refunds are pro-rated based on material accessed.
