TRAINING FOR THE SIR CERTIFICATE PVI
In this course, our experienced instructor will prepare you for the SIR exam Pressure Vacuum Inspector, based on requirements set by SIR. The Pressure Vacuum inspector is qualified to test pressure vacuum equipment at inspection authorities recognised by the SIR.
The course consists of theoretical information. It has been developed to provide inspectors with sufficient knowledge relating to pressure vacuum installations and accessories, in order to test safety. The material is explained in an understandable way, based on recognisable, real-life examples. We continuously adjust the content to new requirements and changes in the industry.
In addition to Dutch, the SIR exam (digital) can also be taken in English, German or French. Our courses are taught in Dutch as standard. In consultation this is also possible in English or German. Please contact us to discuss the possibilities.
