Hobart Institute of Welding Technology (HIWT) is a specialist welding training and certification institution headquartered at 400 Trade Square E, Troy, Ohio 45373, United States. Founded approximately 90 years ago, the institute is a single-focus vocational training establishment exclusively dedicated to welding education. With over 100,000 graduates, HIWT is one of the most widely recognised welding training institutions in the United States.
The institute's primary programmes include a 26-week and a 40-week welding school programme covering foundational to advanced welding skills, with more than 80 percent of training time allocated to hands-on practical work. Programmes are eligible for funding through scholarships, federal grants and loans, and alternative lending programmes.
HIWT is particularly well known for its AWS CWI (Certified Welding Inspector) examination preparation courses, which it has delivered for over 40 years. The CWI Prep Course is an intensive two-week, 80-clock-hour instructor-led programme preparing experienced welding professionals for all three parts of the American Welding Society CWI exam — covering welding fundamentals, practical inspection, and AWS code application (D1.1 or API 1104). The institute also delivers a three-day Part A prep course, a one-week Part B recertification course, custom corporate training, and individual short courses. Training is delivered at the Troy campus and at locations across the United States.
The institute also operates a bookstore and produces welding training materials, streaming videos, and DVD programmes for distance learners. It maintains an accreditation status relevant to vocational training. While classified in the aviation outreach pool, HIWT does not specialise in aviation-specific welding; its relevance is as a training provider to MRO and structural welding professionals who may work in aviation contexts.
