NTEA (The Association for the Work Truck Industry), in collaboration with Lincoln Electric Company and National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3), has created an industry-wide service truck welder certification program.
The Work Truck Industry Welder Certification Program will provide service truck fleet operators a consistent education curriculum to train welders in their company.
After completing a program application and submitting it to NC3, one designated company personnel will be allowed to attend a train-the-trainer program at Lincoln Electric’s Welding Technology and Training Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
After earning a certificate of completion, they will then be allowed to train and certify other workers at their company.
NC3 will provide all on-going support for those completing the train-the-trainer program, such as providing a sample implementation plan they can use to build their own company welder training programs.
The program will open for initial registration in Q1 2022.
