XLT Industrial Training and Industry Partners have created the Welding Industry Standards Classification (WISC), an industry-wide recognised classification system.
The goal of WISC is to ensure the proper skills development of welders, improve employment prospects, and provide employers with gauaranteed access to specialised workers.
A WISC Card enables employers to employ without testing or further training, as the card guarantees that students have met a set level of compentency.
