CSWIP PLANT INSPECTOR COMPETENCE/EXPERIENCE LOG:

LEVEL 2 PREQUALIFICATION
Purpose
This logbook is to be completed by CSWIP Plant Inspector candidates applying for entry to the Level 2 course and examination It !ill be used by CSWIP assessors as a basis
for assessment of a plant inspector"s individual experience and competence It may also be used# for their o!n purposes# by candidates as a pre CSWIP Level 2 checklist of their
competence and experience
Scope
The scope of this logbook comprises both !orks $shop% inspection of ne! e&uipment and the in'service inspection of existing e&uipment It covers all necessary
competence(experience areas up to the CSWIP Plant Inspector Level 2 core course $2 !eeks class attendance% It does not cover the pre&ualification sub)ects for Level 2
endorsements or Level * These have their o!n separate logbook
Instructions to candidates
+ ,ill in the logbook as comprehensively as possible It is important that it provides a fair vie! of your experience and competence in the areas identified
2 It is not expected that all candidates !ill be able to complete all the categories# o!ing to different career paths and backgrounds CSWIP !ill assess each logbook individually
and make a decision as to !hether the competence and experience sho!n is sufficient for entry to the CSWIP Plant Inspector Level 2 core course
2 If you have been a!arded a CSWIP plant Inspector Level + pass certificate# indicate this on page 2# by typing "-.S" !here sho!n
* If you are relying on supporting documentation $reports# other training course results etc%# give these references in the competence log but do not attach the supporting
documentation itself !hen submitting the logbook for assessment CSWIP !ill re&uest it if it is re&uired
/ Those ro!s sho!n as 012 only should be completed by 12 candidates only
3 .ach category entry in the logbook for !hich you claim competence and experience must be endorsed $signed% in the right hand column This should be by an engineer#
manager etc !ho can verify your competence and experience in the specific category that you claim .nter the signature only# !ith a reference number +# 2# * etc then complete
the table belo!# giving the identification of each referenced person -ou may use up to 4 different people as referees# depending on the scope of the experience that you claim
