The CSWIP 3.1 – Welding Inspector Level 2 certification is recognized internationally in many industrial sectors and is among the most sought-after by leading global operators in the Oil & Gas and Power Generation sectors.
Participants attending this training course will develop the following competencies:
The prime objective of joining this CSWIP 3.1 Training Program is to understand the factors influencing the quality of fusion welds in steels. It helps the inspectors to recognize characteristics of commonly used welding processes in relation to quality control. The welding inspector will be responsible for interpreting drawing instructions and symbols to ensure that specifications are met.
The training course will combine presentations with interactive practical exercises, supported by video materials, activities and case studies.
