The training material is delivered predominantly onsite at locations of your choice giving the attendees familiarisation and a known back ground on any performance or maintenance issues related to each structure.
There is a small theory part to the training in the morning which essentially is running through a work book outlining the fundamentals of structures and their components. The theory section generally takes approximately 90 minutes, leaving the rest of the for onsite practical training. Attendees may also choose to continue their training with an optional 3 month coaching program. The program includes weekly communications with the participant in where a series of peer reviews and feedback will take place on recently completed inspections. At the end of each week a summary and action plan will be developed for each individual.

TRAINING FAQS
Find all the answers here
There is some national consistency with state road authorities when it comes to the definition of a Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 structural inspection however the qualification behind it varies considerable from state to state. There is no formal qualification as such that deems someone competent to conduct a particular level of inspection however most state road authorities either have an internal process or an external course which are used to form competency. Ultimately it is up to the asset owner to deem appropriate training suitable to achieve competency within their team in order to manage the risk of their road network.
What is a Level 1 Inspection?
A level 1 inspection is commonly referred to as a routine maintenance inspection and is a visual inspection to check the serviceability of the structure, particularly for the safety of the road users, and identify any emerging problems. Level 1 inspections are generally carried out using a simple form in a tick and flick style format.
What is a Level 2 Inspection?
A level 2 inspection is commonly referred to as structure condition report and is an inspection to asses and rate the condition of a structure, identify current maintenance needs, modelling and forecasting future changes in condition and estimating future budget requirements. Level 2 inspections will involve a breakdown of each component by material and type and an individual condition rating given to each component.
What is field assist coaching?
Field assist coaching is where a BTM Technician is available on location for coaching, training or bridge inspection assistance. Field assist coaching can be carried out as one on one or as a group (maximum of 6 people per group). Coaching programs can also be developed for individuals or teams to form part of the client's quality management framework and/or employee career development pathways.
What is a mentoring session?
Our mentoring sessions are to assist experienced Technicians in building their depth of skills and to maintain quality and consistency with bridge inspection reporting. Mentoring sessions are also an effective way to assist Technicians through complex inspections and to achieve a comprehensive report for an engineering assessment or as a contract hand over inspection.
