Is it for me?

The CSWIP Visual Welding Inspector course is designed for welders, operators, line inspectors, and foremen who carry out the visual examination of welded joints. It is also suitable for welding quality control staff and anyone who needs basic training in welding inspection alongside a qualification.

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 CSWIP Visual Welding Inspector Online 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.
