Certified Inspectors Course
 
Hot dip galvanizing is one of the most widely used methods of protecting steel from corrosion.

This Inspectors Course has been designed to provide delegates with sufficient knowledge to test, inspect and interpret test results.

Following the course and successful result in a three-part exam, the delegate will be issued with a certificate, and if required, registered as an approved HDGASA inspector. Registration will be confirmed on an annual basis. The course will be run from the Hot Dip Galvanizer's Association Offices in St Andrews, Bedfordview. Bookings are limited (maximum 20 people) and will be treated on a first-come-first-serve basis.
