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.
Attendees need a basic knowledge of bridges and culverts, so we provide self-paced, Augmented Reality training in advance that identifies their various components in an easy-to-use, interactive environment that helps your inspection and reporting.
Level 1 is then covered on Day 1 and the morning of Day 2. Level 2 then continues from the afternoon of Day 2 until the end of Day 3. Participants who wish to complete Level 2 are required to attend all three days.

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.
