FAQs About Certification
How does Arnco’s certification process work?
Arnco certifies welding operators and hardbanding units (equipment) separately. To apply Arnco hardbanding products, a company must have an Arnco Certified Operator working with Arnco Certified Equipment.
How many certificates does my company need?
A company can certify as many operators and hardbanding units as necessary. At a minimum, you’ll need one certified operator and one certified hardbanding unit. Whenever Arnco products are applied, the work must be performed by a certified operator using certified equipment.
Is there a cost for Arnco certifications?
This depends on each company’s history with Arnco and details of their certification. Click here to reach out for us for more information.
Do I need to certify all operators and equipment in my company?
No, you only need to certify the operators and equipment that will be applying Arnco hardbanding products. There’s no requirement to certify all personnel or equipment, but only certified operators and units can be used with Arnco products.
Can an operator take their certification to another company?
While operators can note that they are Arnco Certified, their certificates are tied to the company where they were certified. Certificates include both the operator’s name and the company’s name, so they are not transferable to a new employer.
Does each operator need to be certified for each hardbanding unit?
No, there’s no need for individual certifications for every operator-equipment combination. As long as both the operator and the equipment are certified, any combination of the two can be used for Arnco applications.
How does recertification work?
Arnco has streamlined the recertification process. If your certification doesn’t expire by more than six months, renewal is simple and involves completing some paperwork. There’s no additional cost, and no further testing or witnessing is required.
