Who is eligible for the ASSE 6010 + 6040 combo course?

Candidates must meet the eligibility requirements for both certifications: at least four (4) years of documented experience installing plumbing or mechanical piping systems (for the 6010), and employment or engagement with medical gas systems with at least one (1) year of documented maintenance, inspection, or testing experience (for the 6040). Many installation professionals meet both requirements.

How is the exam structured?

You take one combined final exam that covers the content for both the 6010 and 6040 certifications, plus the hands-on ASME IX brazing test. The brazing kit is shipped to your location and completed under the supervision of a witness you select.

How long is the course and how long do I have to complete it?

The integrated course is 40+ hours of self-paced online training. You have up to 6 months from purchase to complete all training requirements and pass the final exam and brazing test.
