NS Training Levels Available
The Grading of Inspectors is based on a levels system and is available to those inspectors completing both the Theory and Practical elements of the courses.
Each Inspector is required to take a series of exams based on each module studied.
The classifications of the levels are as follows:
- Level 1 Trainee Inspector
- Level 2 Inspector/Operator (EMI/MPI/DPI),
- Level 3 Senior Inspector/Operator (EMI/MPI/DPI/UT)
- Level 4 Senior Operator/Supervisor (EMI/MPI/DPI/UT).
Inspectors with Theory only certificates can have Levels awarded once they have enough experience to undergo the Practical Assessment, which is carried out by an NS A&S trainer/engineer.
Details of the Practical Assessment requirements can be found on the NS-2™ Practical Assessment page or by downloading the information on the NS-2™ Theory & Practical 5 day course from the Downloads section.
