Hi sparktrician,
I'm a AWS CWI (Certified Weld Inspector) or one of the guys that issues your certification papers.
To get pre-certified is only good as too show that you may be able to pass a on site welding test at the current job site. Certifications are tied to the current job-site.
If you were in the bizz then it would be valid to show that you make certified welds in general, in lets say a shop environment but may not be valid if you were called out to a remote job site where on-site certifications were required thus you would be required to run a weld test.
If you were too meet me on the job site and say your a certified weldor, my response would be, grab your hood and see you in the test booth. Why? I've heard all the how great of a weldor I'm story's and seen the "I can weld the crack of dawn" guys, so it's show me time.
A Vo-Tech school is a excellent place to run a certification test as for under a $200 you can maybe learn something new, either technique or theory and get too use all the latest equipment available. This would be my first choice.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
