ERCA Inspector Training Course

Course Language: English
Course Provider: ERCA

NOTE: Modular system, required qualifications & separate assessment procedure!

This is training module #7 described in the inspector qualification scheme. We expect the inspector candidates to have a good theoretical knowledge, plenty of practical experience and to hold a couple of other awards as a pre-requisite for attendance in this course module.
After completion of module #7 there will be a consolidation period you are working under supervision of a certified training body (modules #8 + #9) before you can show up for a separate 1-day-assessment (module #10). We issue an “ERCA Inspector”-Certificate once you have successfully passed the assessment (module #10).

Description

During the training you will experience about the procedures of standard periodical inspection routines to check the ropes courses in accordance with EN 15567 Part I, 7c and the ERCA Standards for inspection. There will be theory sessions indoor and many experience-based parts outdoor inspecting a variety of different ropes course installations. Documentation routines for the practical inspection work carried out will be another important part, which will be reviewed in the group. During the practical sessions the candidates will be observed by the trainer team with follow-up evaluation on performance and delivery. Together with the trainer every participant will compile an action plan reflecting the personal theoretical knowledge and practical skills. This personal action plan will guide you through the consolidation period to the assessment.

The course is a course for inspectors of accredited inspection bodies and new applicants (if they can proof the required inspection experience). 

Out of scope:
The accreditation for inspection bodies requires additional steps for the company (application check, audit of the inspection body).
