COURSE DESCRIPTION
A completely new innovative Coating Inspector Approval scheme is launched. The scheme is a joint development between the Singapore Welding Society and Waugh Technical Services of the UK and is entitled as SWS ICAS.
The scheme breaks new ground by the development of courses and provision of certification not previously available for subject areas within Coating Inspection. This is in addition to the standard levels of Coating Inspector and Site Operative disciplines.
The SWS ICAS is designed to qualify Coating Inspectors and Coating Operatives for the Industrial and Marine Coatings field to a standard which is recognised and accepted by all National and International Oil, Gas and Civil Engineering companies throughout the world.
