This package brings together technical and safety references that support the major subjects identified for the California C-60 trade examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe California C-60 Welding classification covers contractors who cause metals to become permanently attached, joined, and fabricated through the use of gases and electrical energy that create sufficient heat to perform the work. The trade requires knowledge of welding processes, material preparation, metal characteristics, equipment setup, joint preparation, cutting techniques, welding symbols, finished weld quality, and safe work practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWelding work can involve structural and nonstructural fabrication, field welding, shop welding, cutting, brazing, soldering, material preparation, equipment setup, and post-weld work. Candidates preparing for the C-60 examination should understand how plans and specifications influence welding procedures, how metals respond to heat, how welding and cutting equipment is prepared, and how safety requirements apply throughout the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe California Welding (C-60) trade examination is a closed-book examination. Reference books cannot be used during the test, so the materials in this package are intended for study before exam day. Candidates should use them to strengthen understanding of welding techniques, equipment, structural welding requirements, welding symbols, cutting, material identification, fire prevention, electrical hazards, compressed gases, ventilation, and personnel safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis package can support candidates with different welding backgrounds. Someone experienced primarily with structural steel may need additional preparation involving brazing, soldering, cutting, symbols, or other processes. A fabrication welder may need more review involving field conditions, job-site safety, plans and specifications, or structural code concepts. Balanced preparation is important because the C-60 examination covers the complete welding process from planning and setup through welding, cutting, finishing, and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 3px solid #d32f2f; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; background-color: #fff7f7;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f; margin-top: 0;\"\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Independent Shop’s Guide to Welding Safety and Health\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModern Welding, 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAWS Z49.1 Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAWS A2.4:2020 Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCal\/OSHA General Industry \u0026amp; Electrical Safety Orders\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCal\/OSHA Construction \u0026amp; Electrical Safety Orders\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAWS D1.1\/D1.1M: Structural Welding Code – Steel, 2020 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eExam Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe California Welding (C-60) trade examination is divided into five major content areas.

Being able to move between a drawing and the physical weld is an important trade skill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCalculation practice should also be included because some C-60 questions require mathematical computation. Practice trade-related estimating and measurement problems and make sure the setup is understood rather than memorized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA productive preparation routine combines broad reference reading with targeted study. Begin with the five examination sections, identify weak subjects, use the appropriate welding, structural code, symbol, or safety reference for deeper review, and then practice recalling the information without the books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eHow 1 Exam Prep Helps You Reach Your Goal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1 Exam Prep helps candidates prepare for the California Welding (C-60) contractor examination through organized study guidance, trade-focused review, structured reference navigation, and practice-oriented preparation. The book reference package supports the main examination areas of planning, preparation, welding, brazing, soldering, cutting, and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReference navigation can help candidates focus on weaker subjects. A candidate needing additional process review can concentrate on Modern Welding, while someone who needs more drawing interpretation can spend additional time with AWS A2.4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAWS D1.1\/D1.1M supports structural steel welding review, while AWS Z49.1, The Independent Shop’s Guide to Welding Safety and Health, and the Cal\/OSHA materials provide focused safety preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrade-focused study also helps connect the stages of welding work. Plans and specifications establish the requirements. Metal identification and estimating influence process and material selection. Preparation establishes the joint and work area.
