The answer to how long a welding certification lasts depends on the certification. There are professional certifications such as those offered by the American Welding Society (AWS). AWS certification remains valid as long as you submit a Maintenance of Welder Certification Form every six months as required by the Code of Acceptance that governs the test.
When you graduate from UTI, you receive a diploma to validate your formal training.
