Course overview

Bridges and other structures are crucial asset elements of the infrastructure network. It is essential that their condition is monitored, and repairs are planned and completed in an efficient and timely manner. The systematic inspection, condition rating and monitoring of these assets are vital components managing the lifecycle of these structures. This course helps participants develop the knowledge and skills to conduct Level 1 and 2 inspections in accordance with industry best practice.

Learning Outcomes

Topics Covered

Knowledge Transfer Accreditation

This workshop may provide the underpinning knowledge required to align with nationally recognised units of competency from the Certificate IV in Civil Construction Supervision as well as other civil construction qualifications.

NTRO has an arrangement with CivilEdge (RTO 41594), a Registered Training Organisation, whereby workshop participants may see a formal assessment pathway to achieve a competency outcome under the Australian Qualifications Framework from this training. Attending this workshop along with completing formal assessments undertaken both during and after the workshop, may be used as evidence towards obtaining the following units of competency from CivilEdge:

  • RIICSG405E: Carry out inspections of civil structures
  • RIIIMG301E: Maintain site records
  • RIIRIS301E: Apply risk management processes

Many road authorities require bridge inspectors to undergo additional internal training before being allowed to lead level 2 inspections for their agency. The internal training usually includes organisational policy, systems and procedures and industry best practice. For instance, in Victoria, VicRoads now recognises the ARRB Bridge Inspection Level 2 course as a prerequisite to inspect VicRoads structures. Please refer to your appropriate governing body for guidance on whether you will be qualified to inspect bridges in your local area, on completion of this accreditation.

NTRO is working towards gaining recognition by other road authorities Australia wide.
