Finding a Job
Good Luck, { Preparation meeting Opportunity }
To my knowledge, the term or title " master welder" is in no way an official title. There is no universally recognized organization, authority, agencey or valid justification that bestows this title. It is not something that is earned over a period of time, through a concrete or specific set of tasks, compotencies or skill-set completion. The term is most often just a matter of who is calling himself a "master welder" and why? and who recognizes the title and why?The term "master" should not be confused or assimilated with " Certified - Registered - Licensed or Qualified. These terms can usually be validated by: Organizations - Agencies - Professional Societies - Unions - Companies - Institutions, Local, State & Federal Governments and so forth, and may even possess legal ramifications.
However, some employers may advertise for the position of " master welder," each with their own version or description of the master welder. The job description is probably written by a human resources person with limited or no knowledge of the welding industry, so the descriptions is probably fabricated or fantasized to the employers imagination.
Also, there are more and more welder training schools that now offer a master welder's certificate, usually a 30 credit hour certificate program titled "master welder". I am not sure if the syllabus or curriculum are consistent among these schools. The training is usually less than a year to complete.
Finally, in support of my perspective on this topic, I visited: The Dictionary of Occupational Titles, - The Occupational Outlook Handbook, - The American Welding Society. I could not even find mention of the term "master welder" let alone a difinition, description or picture of one.
