Is it for me?
You can take this course whether you have experience in the painting inspection industry or not.
Everyone at TWI Training understands that we are undergoing challenging times around the world at the moment due to the COVID 19 pandemic. We appreciate that attending in-class courses is impossible in most countries due to restrictions on gatherings in order to protect everyone.
However, with this mind TWI is delivering online live courses, so that you can continue to improve your knowledge and expertise, wherever you are.
This BGAS-CSWIP Painting Inspector - Grade 2 live course is delivered in slightly different ways in TWI’s global training centres.
- The course content remains the same as a classroom-based course
- The student will be able to attend the theory training sessions, delivered by TWI Training Lecturers, via Zoom, WebEx or similar platforms
- The delivery of the practical aspects of the course differs depending on your region
- In all cases, the examination will take place, in the usual way, when the TWI Centres re-open post Covid-19.

If you are a holder of BGAS-CSWIP Site Coatings Inspector Approval, it should be noted that day 1 of the syllabus will cover items which the applicant may be already conversant in and therefore attendance on this day (although strongly recommended) is entirely at their discretion. Course duration may then be only 4 days. However, should the applicant decide against attendance on this day, there will be no reduction in course fee.
Four-day training course with examination on day 5, or for less experienced candidates there is the opportunity to take the examination the following week.
