This qualification allows the holder to

Conduct inspections on Low Volumes, Level 1, Level 2 and level 3 roads (with varying restrictions) with this qualification only.

• If the attendee/s will be inspecting roads more than a few times per year, the attendee needs to gain the STMS qualification. The STMS qualification allows the applicant to inspect roads without restriction on frequency.
• If the attendee/s only conduct inspections on Level 1 roads then the L1 STMS will be sufficient. If the attendee/s is doing both L1 and L2/3 road inspections, then the attendee/s should progress to the L2/3 STMS NP qualification.

Following successful completion of this workshop, a student will obtain their Level 1 Basic TC - Inspector qualification for 3 years (from the date of the course).
