There are many many different certifications, so ASAP, determine which one you are doing - that should dictate the rod type, metal thickness, position and the other variables. Get a copy of the structural code if possible - it should list the tests. Each industry has multiple certifications and most are not transferable.

Good luck,

fyi, I am certifiable but not certified (pun)

Might add;

Probably an AWS test (American Welding Society). Some tests give you a lot of range in what you can weld afterwards and some do not. If you have a choice, take one that gives you a wider range before you have to take another test. Usually a difficult position will cover easier ones so overhead inclined usually covers all others.
