Logbook

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 will 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 own purposes, by candidates as a pre CSWIP Level 2 checklist of their competence and experience Scope The scope of this logbook comprises both works (shop) inspection of new equipment and the in-service inspection of existing equipment. It covers all necessary competence/experience areas up to the CSWIP Plant Inspector Level 2 core course (2 weeks class attendance). It does not cover the prequalification subjects for Level 2 endorsements or Level 3. These have their own separate logbook Instructions to candidates 1. Fill in the logbook as comprehensively as possible. It is important that it provides a fair view of your experience and competence in the areas identified 2. It is not expected that all candidates will be able to complete all the categories, owing to different career paths and backgrounds. CSWIP will assess each logbook individually and make a decision as to whether the competence and experience shown is sufficient for entry to the CSWIP Plant Inspector Level 2 core course 2. If you have been awarded a CSWIP plant Inspector Level 1 pass certificate, indicate this on page 2, by typing 'YES' where shown 3. 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 when submitting the logbook for assessment. CSWIP will request it if it is required 4. Those rows shown as *UK only should be completed by UK candidates only 5. Each category entry in the logbook for which you claim competence and experience must be endorsed (signed) in the right hand column. This should be by an engineer, manager etc who can verify your competence and experience in the specific category that you claim. Enter the signature only, with a reference number 1, 2, 3 etc then complete the table below, giving the identification of each referenced person. You may use up to 8 different people as referees, depending on the scope of the experience that you claim.
