Certification / Awarding Body:
Objectives:
to understand factors which influence the quality of fusion welds in steels
to recognise characteristics of commonly used welding processes in relation to quality control
to interpret drawing instructions and symbols to ensure that specifications are met
to set up and report on inspection of welds, macrosections and other mechanical tests
to assess and report on welds to acceptance levels
to confirm that incoming material meets stipulated requirements and recognise the effects on weld quality of
departure from specification
to be in a position to pass the Welding nspector - Level 2 examinations
AdditionaI Information:
CSWP Welding nspector examination - All candidates must attend a CSWP approved course of training prior to
examination. Enrolment on this course does not constitute reservation of an examination. All courses may be followed
