This course is suitable for candidates with or without experience in industrial painting. This course addresses numerous paint types and systems used in the construction industry. The course is largely theoretical but involves hands-on experience with relevant inspection equipment.
Most candidates attending this course would go on to attempt the BGAS-CSWIP Painting Inspector Grade 3 approval. Any candidate with painting inspection experience may attempt Painting Inspector Grade 2, although this is not advised unless the candidate is very familiar with BGAS-CSWIP requirements.
