Steps

  1. Retrieve LADBS's current Certified Welder Examination Information from dbs.lacity.gov (or ladbs.org forms) rather than third-party test-prep sites
  2. Confirm the process requires both a written exam (minimum passing score as published by LADBS) with open- and closed-book segments, and a practical/performance test
  3. Confirm initial licensure practical testing is conducted using SMAW (stick), and that Tubular Structures certification requires the applicant already hold Structural Steel Welding (SSW) certification first
  4. Verify applicants must bring the specific AWS Structural Steel Welding Code edition covering the exam scope, since LADBS testing is tied to a designated code edition
  5. Confirm the application-to-exam window (LADBS specifies a period within which the written exam must be passed after application) directly on the current LADBS form, since this administrative deadline can change
