This course is intended for experienced welding inspectors and quality control personnel, especially those preparing for the CSWIP Senior Welding Inspector examination.

Before starting the training, it is essential to have knowledge of topics covered at the CSWIP Welding Inspector level. Due to the wide scope of the course content, prior preparation and self-study at home are strongly recommended.

What Will You Learn?

This program will comprehensively cover the following topics:

• Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC)

• Destructive testing and heat treatment processes

• Welding procedures and welding of different materials

• Residual stresses and distortion

• Weldability and welding fractures

• Welding repair techniques and consumables

• Welding symbols and technical documentation

• Non-destructive testing methods (NDT)

• Joint design, specifications, high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels, quenched and tempered steels
