## Notice

The overall aim of this project is to ensure Asset Inspectors (AI's) working for, or on behalf of the EA, can competently, consistently and safely undertake visual inspections of EA assets. To demonstrate their ability to inspect assets, AIs must pass the course stages fully detailed in the Specification. It is the Contractor's role to assess if an AI has achieved the required level of knowledge and competency to pass and therefore become an accredited AI.
