Is it for me?

The CSWIP Welding Inspector course is designed for inspection engineers and supervisors.

What will I learn?

This course will teach you the duties and responsibilities of a welding inspector including fusion welding processes, typical weld defects, types of steel (including carbon-manganese, low alloy and stainless steels), the hardening of steels, weldability, heat treatment, and parent metal defects.

 The programme also includes visual inspection, the testing of parent metals and welds, and destructive and non-destructive test techniques.
