RTEC is an AWS Accredited Test Facility

---

Since July 2005, the Regional Technical Education Center (RTEC) has been recognized as an American Welding Society (AWS) Accredited Test Facility for the AWS Certified Welder Program.

 What exactly does that mean? Being acknowledged as an AWS Accredited Test Facility means that RTEC has joined an elite group of facilities that can certify welders who meet AWS standards. Currently, RTEC is only one of two AWS Accredited Test Facilities in the entire state of South Dakota and one of only a few in the region to hold that designation.

If you are ready to put your skills to the test and wish to become AWS certified, please contact RTEC at (605) 668-5700 and we will set up a time for you to meet with the AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI).
