This course is a comprehensive training program tailored for QA/QC professionals working in the oil & gas, refinery, offshore, and pipeline sectors. Designed with real project needs in mind, this course covers the essentials of inspection techniques, drawing interpretation, welding methods, testing processes, and offshore-specific practices.
You will start by learning about the key welding processes used in oil & gas—SMAW, GTAW, and SAW—and how to inspect each process effectively. We then move to practical inspection scenarios including pre-heating, purging, plasma cutting, vacuum box inspection, and magnetism testing. The course also includes coverage of equipment like welding machines, PMI and hardness testing devices, and robotic welding tools.
Learners will gain a deep understanding of isometric and P&ID drawings, fit-up inspection procedures, material code identification (including ASME Section II Part A & C), and carbon/stainless steel classification.
Special emphasis is placed on offshore welding requirements, underwater welding references, grit blasting, wrapping and coating inspection, and holiday testing methods. Whether you are new to inspection or already working in the field, this course offers both core principles and field-applicable knowledge.
By the end of the course, learners will be capable of reviewing QA/QC protocols on-site, interpreting technical documents, and conducting visual and practical inspection procedures as per industry standards.
