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 Pipeline Welding Inspector 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
  • In all cases, the examination will take place, in the usual way, when the TWI Centres re-open post Covid-19.
