Independent practice modules built around how the exam actually tests you — closed-book recall for Part A, timed code navigation for Part C. 278 original questions, fully explained, plus the study strategy most candidates never get shown.
Instant PDF download. Works on phone, tablet, or desktop.
You're tested closed-book on a wide base of welding knowledge — processes, metallurgy, NDT, symbols. There's nothing to flip through. Just recall, under pressure.
Most candidates don't fail Part C from a lack of knowledge. They run out of time hunting for the right clause. Speed with the code book is a trained skill, not a given.
Three ways to buy — Part A alone, Part C alone, or both together at a lower combined price.

Developed around the published AWS CWI examination content areas — not generic welding trivia.
Kolbi Jones founded Jonesbros Academy after more than 15 years in the welding and inspection industry. He started in 2009 as an NDE technician with Team Industrial Services, earning his radiation safety certification early in his career. Over the following nine years, he worked nondestructive examination across nearly every industrial setting — pipe fabrication shops, processing plants, pipelines, and facilities.
In 2018, he completed CWI exam preparation and earned his Certified Welding Inspector credential. Since then, he's worked as a welding inspector in plants and fabrication shops before moving into pipeline inspection, where he still works today.
Jonesbros Academy comes out of that field experience — built by someone who's worked both the technician and inspector sides of the job, and knows firsthand where candidates get tripped up on Part A and Part C.
Pulled straight from the modules, unedited. Changes daily.
No. Jonesbros Academy is independent study material and isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by the American Welding Society or the American Petroleum Institute. It's built to reinforce concepts and build exam-taking speed alongside your primary study materials.
Yes — Part C is open book, and you're required to bring your own copy. This module teaches you how to navigate it quickly and reinforces the concepts tested; it doesn't replace the standard itself.
A PDF, delivered instantly after checkout. It's readable on your phone, tablet, or desktop — no app required.
No. Part B is the hands-on practical exam (measuring weld samples, applying acceptance criteria to physical parts). This bundle covers Part A and Part C only.
Your copy is licensed for personal use. It's watermarked and locked against redistribution — if you need it for a group or a training program, reach out about a team license instead of sharing a single copy.
Yes. Part A and Part C are sold separately at $199 each, or together as the Bundle for $350.
