PA Welding Certification

I obtained my certificate on site at Rose Metals Company. My company requested me to pass the certification so that I could step up into a supervisory position. The company needed reliable people to run numerous spots in the facility. I also received extensive training to trouble shoot in gaining my M/SHAW certification.
