Specialized & Signature Training Methods

At The Welding Expert, we understand that welding to meet New York State Department of Transportation (NYS DOT), AWS, and ASME standards requires precision, skill, and in-depth knowledge of welding codes and processes. That’s why we’ve developed exclusive training methods designed to give you the best chance of passing the most challenging welding certifications: NYS DOT 3G/4G, AWS 3G/4G, and ASME 6G.

NYS DOT 3G/4G Certification

Our training for NYS DOT 3G (Vertical) and 4G (Overhead) welding is tailored to meet the specific requirements of state transportation projects. We provide real-world, hands-on practice, using the same welding techniques and materials you’ll encounter on-site. You’ll learn to master critical joint positions, ensuring you can weld safely and effectively for public infrastructure projects. With direct feedback from seasoned instructors and full-scale practice in varied positions, you'll gain the confidence you need to pass your DOT certification.

AWS 3G/4G Certification

Achieving AWS 3G (Vertical) and 4G (Overhead) welding certification can be a tough challenge, but with our targeted training methods, you’ll be ready. We focus on providing an understanding of AWS D1.1 welding codes and key performance standards, using real-time, intensive welding sessions. Our signature approach includes individual coaching and personalized assessments to make sure you're fully prepared for the stringent testing requirements that AWS 3G/4G certifications demand.

ASME 6G Certification

The ASME 6G position, often referred to as the “ultimate test of a welder's skill,” is the toughest certification to pass. Our specialized ASME 6G training focuses on precision, heat control, and consistent weld penetration—skills necessary to excel in pipe welding and complex structural applications. Our instructors, who have real-world ASME welding experience, work directly with you to master the critical techniques required to pass this certification. From joint prep to the final bead, we’ll guide you through each step to ensure you're prepared for both testing and real-world applications.
