Personally, I find that comment deeply offensive

I worked very hard to earn the first of my ASME codings.

1: I had to demonstrate that I posessed a full, in depth knowledge of the process involved. That included the equipment & the science involved in the process of welding.

2: Writen examinations that had to be passed before you could even submit a test piece.
Not one of the new fangled multiple choice exams. A propper one with no tick boxes.

3: Eqiupment & test pieces had to be set up by the candidate in person, The LLoyds inspector would personally watch you do it.
The LLoyds inspector would also observe the following. Root run, fill & cap ( Keen to ensure thet the set-up tacks were ground out & all joints were back ground as needed.
At no piont would the LLoyds inspector offer advice or comment on your progress.

4: With coding in hand. You go to an interview...........Yes you guessed right, have to go through it all again


I assume that by the comments made, that the poster works in an eviroment that makes full use of the robotic welding devices available.
In this case the equipment is often set up by a welding engineer. More to do with quality assurance than the ability of the welder !!??

Now that is really my final word on the subject of welding
