WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU START (PREREQUISITE)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a specialization programme. It does not teach welding technology from the beginning; it applies it to the marine sector. For this reason, previous knowledge of welding technology is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should already be familiar with the basics of welding processes and equipment, consumables, basic welding metallurgy, weld imperfections and their causes, WPS and welder qualification, and welding symbols on drawings. If you do not have this background, you can first follow our Weld Entry programme, which also runs on Moodle as distance learning. Weld Entry (5 days timeframe) gives you the basic welding technology knowledge you need, and you can then continue with Welding Inspection in the Marine Sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. HOW THE COURSE RUNS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The course is distance learning. It takes place entirely on our Moodle platform, in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 It is available from Tuesday 22 September 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Your access to the platform remains active for 20 calendar days. You can log in whenever you wish, according to your own availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 You receive the notes as a personalised e-book. Printed notes can also be posted to you within Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 After completion of each chapter one test will be available to check your understanding (10 questions per chapter)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. EXAMINATION AND CERTIFICATE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 When you complete the training, you sit an examination of 100 multiple-choice questions (4 possible answers, 1 correct).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 You have 120 minutes to answer them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The examination is taken online through a proctoring system. You do not need to attend the premises of the Greek Welding Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The passing score is 60%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 On success you receive the certificate Certified Senior Welding Inspector for the Marine Sector (CSWIM), issued under ISO\/IEC 17024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The training and the examination are provided in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 If you do not pass, you may sit the examination again within 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5.
