Time for Class

All classes begin at 8am and run a minimum of 8 hours each scheduled day. Preparatory courses are designed to cover a certain amount of material each day and may take beyond 8 hours. These courses also include homework.

Application for Testing to AWS

Students preparing to take the examinations offered by AWS will be required to fill out an application that must be complete before it can be processed by the AWS Certification Dept.

Visual Acuity or Eye Forms must accompany the initial application as of new changes for 2009.

What to Bring to Class

Calculators - Most courses will require the use of a calculator. For certification courses such as CWI/CWE, Senior CWI, CWS, API 510 and API 570 Preparatory, calculators to be used during testing must meet the requirements of the certifying organization.

Tools – When use of tools is required for classroom exercises, all necessary tools will be provided by Real Educational Services. Students may, however, use their own personal tools, although this is not recommended. AWS allows the basic or scientific calculator or the construction calculator. When tools are required for certification testing, students must use tools provided by the certifying organization, as in AWS supplying tools for all students taking the CWI/CWE/CWS examinations.

AWS Confirmation Letter and Part B Specification – Bring your package with the Part B Specification (for CWI exam) and the confirmation letter from AWS with you to class.

Other materials – Student texts and workbooks are provided as applicable and may be used for student note taking. Most are the property of the student upon course completion.

Other Sources of Materials

Study materials – Pre-course study materials are provided to registered students of the AWS CWI/CWE or the API 510 and 570 Preparatory courses. Upon registration and meeting deposit requirements for the class, pre-course study guides and questions are mailed to the student.
