IPEX Solvent Cements ONLINE Course can be found here:

It is recommended that you download and read both the Solvent Cementing Guide, and the Solvent Cements Catalouge before taking the test. (Both of these will require Adobe Acrobat Reader) -although, the Solvent Cements Catalogue really isn't required for the tesr -I think that they just wanted to show you their line of Solvent Cements...which is O.K. by me, because I see that they carry a Reactive Adhesive that "Bonds PVC and CPVC to dissimiliar materails such as metals, concrete, clay, and others."

It is also required that you have Macromedia FLASH Player v. 4 to run the course.

After obtaining the Solvent Cements cataloguue, you can REGISTER with the site (I made up a bogus company name), and after you click submit, it'll automatically bring you to a "pre-quiz" page.

<b>I took this course last year and learned A LOT. Upon completion, IPEX sends you a nifty certificate and a pen in the mail which you can proudly hang on your wall like I did. You guys should all take this course whether you have been doing this for years or not. In fact, I wont even take you seriously on here until you can prove to me that you passed this thing.</b>

Edited by jrrdw, Ipex link updated.

This sounds like an alright thing. I have nothing to do until I get my information on things so I may use this as a time filler (reading part) then take the test when I am done the reading portion.

Ummm... it took me 1/2 hour to complete the whole course and pass... How long does it take before the certificate and pen arrive??

I just took the test at the end and it says You passed.Is that the end? Or what?

yeah is thta the end? i passed a few weeks ago but im not sure if they post to New Zealand lol

Just took the test and passed. Really, more people should take this, its ridiculously easy as well as informative.

I took the test! I got a nice pen, a notebook with instructions, and a deploma. It took ~3 months to ship. Thes said they ship to the world.

ok good i did my about 2months ago max,you can say to your friends....I've got a diploma. and they would be like wtf and then you finish by saying its a solvent welding diploma

Thank for that link. Passed no problem. I wonder if my certificate will ever arrive it the UK
I was delighted to read that IPEX solvents should not be used on pipes being used for, or tested with, compressed air or gas!!!!

I completed mine about a month ago and I havent seen a thing.

Hey CT, Yeah they posted mine to New Zealand, I completed mine early september,the certificate was signed in October 26th and it arrived early November. So they take longer to sign the certificate then to post it from Canada.

I live in Ky,US. What do you think is the hold up?

Canada jk, They take longer to sign the certificate/make it then to post the damn thing. Its also free postage $3 Canadian I belive.

I took and passed my test like 5 months ago and ain't seen nothing yet, i've even sent them emails and got no reply. I gave up, they don't have to send me nothing, i know how to solvent weld!

Sweet Man,
