Exams
The welding courses are concluded with a theory and practical exam. These exams are conducted by an independent examiner from the Dutch Institute for Welding Technology (NIL). If you pass, you will receive an NIL certificate. To keep the certificate valid, you must provide evidence of regular performance. This can be done by refreshing and updating your knowledge. Elektrolas therefore organizes annually so-called refresher days to keep your knowledge and skills up to date. View our Schooling activity calendar.
