Internationally recognised certification scheme at three competency levels, in modular format, for a clearly defined and structured career path. Resources of successful plant operators can be stretched when faced with unforeseen problems or when time-investment is required for long-term planning. The key is to identify the most cost-effective practical solution using state-of-the-art assessment tools and techniques.Recognising the need to ensure that engineers involved in asset integrity management are suitably qualified to deliver optimised plant inspection and assessment, TWI is offering an internationally recognised CSWIP plant inspector certification scheme.
