CWB Test Reimbursement Process

Criteria & Process for Application

A CWB certified welder must re-test every two years in order for their certification to remain valid. With prior approval, IBEW Local Union 424 members who require their CWB certification and practice time may be eligible to receive reimbursement. In order to be considered for reimbursement, each member must be in good standing with IBEW Local Union 424 and be eligible for Education Benefits. 

If all eligibility criteria are met, the ECAA (Electrical Contractors Association of Alberta) will reimburse the cost of the full 4 positions or Check test. ECAA will only reimburse the full four positions once, regardless of a pass or fail. In order to ensure reimbursement, please contact an EITCA Training Administrator prior to commencing testing.
