Is it for me?
This online pre-course learning will provide you with a thorough eLearning experience and an essential foundation of knowledge before attending the full, classroom based CSWIP Welding Inspection course. It will also allow you to identify areas of weakness or uncertainty that can be discussed with the lecturer during the full course delivery.
The pre-courses are also very effective as supplementary learning resources and visual revision tools to support the learning materials and course content from their full, classroom-based CSWIP Welding Inspection course. These packages provide comprehensive blended learning experiences that lend themselves to all types of learning preferences.
