How to become a bridge inspector?

To become a bridge inspector you have to complete the necessary training and certification. The National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies (NICET) offers four certification levels for bridge safety inspection. Certification requires a specified amount of work experience and a passing score on an exam. An entry-level position on an inspection team can help you earn the required experience as often you learn best by doing and observing. Vocational schools and community colleges offer bridge inspection training courses. These courses focus on building, construction, engineering, and how to ensure safe and secure steel structures and waterway passages.
