Magnetic Particle Inspector Courses Open for Registration

Magnetic particle inspection is a widely used non-destructive testing (NDT) technique for identifying surface and slightly subsurface defects in ferromagnetic materials. Used extensively across industries including oil and gas, energy, manufacturing, fabrication and infrastructure, the method plays a vital role in maintaining safety, quality and asset integrity. The process involves magnetising the test object and applying ferrous particles, which cluster at areas of magnetic flux leakage caused by discontinuities, making them visible for inspection

Professionals looking to develop or formalise their inspection skills can now register for upcoming BGAS-CSWIP Magnetic Particle Inspector courses, with the next programme taking place at TWI Cambridge from 27-31 July 2026. Additional opportunities to attend are available later in the year, including 14-18 September 2026 in Cambridge and 21-25 September 2026 in Middlesbrough.

The BGAS-CSWIP Magnetic Particle Inspector qualification has been developed to provide candidates with the knowledge and practical skills required to carry out magnetic particle inspection activities in accordance with recognised industry requirements. Throughout the course, delegates gain an understanding of magnetic principles, inspection techniques, equipment, defect interpretation and the procedures used to assess components for discontinuities that could affect service performance.

Combining theoretical learning with practical application, the programme enables candidates to develop confidence in performing inspections and interpreting results within real-world industrial environments. Training also covers relevant standards, inspection procedures and reporting requirements, helping candidates understand the wider role magnetic particle inspection plays within quality assurance and asset integrity programmes.

Applications of MPI

Industries: MPI is commonly used in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, and construction, to inspect critical components such as welds, castings, and forgings

Materials: This method is specifically applicable to ferromagnetic materials, making it unsuitable for non-magnetic materials like aluminium or copper

As organisations continue to prioritise reliability, safety and compliance, demand for qualified inspection personnel remains strong. Achieving BGAS-CSWIP certification demonstrates competence in a recognised inspection method and can support career progression across a range of engineering and industrial sectors.

Whether you are looking to expand your inspection capabilities, gain industry-recognised certification or strengthen your understanding of non-destructive testing techniques, the BGAS-CSWIP Magnetic Particle Inspector course provides a valuable opportunity to develop practical and transferable skills.

Places are available on the upcoming Cambridge and Middlesbrough courses. We recommend early registration to secure your preferred training date and location! For more information visit our dedicated webpage or contact us at trainexam@twitraining.com
