AWS Member Testimonial
I had the chance to sit on this seminar at AWS headquarters in Miami and what and experience! It's super informative, compact, and really packs a punch with how much you walk away with. Walter is an absolute wealth of knowledge, and I feel lucky to have been mentored by him. Highly recommend this for anyone working with ASME IX welding code!
