Course Itinerary
The OnyxIntegrity Learning Path
From certification preparation to confident field inspection.
This is the complete study roadmap we are building for members—organized by subject so you can see what you will learn, what is coming next, and how every lesson connects to real inspection work.
This is a curriculum roadmap, not a product catalog. Members learn at their own pace as new lessons, quizzes, field examples, illustrations, and resources are added. Content is released in stages so each subject is complete and useful—not rushed.
Study Tracks
Start with the complete CWI course, then continue building the field knowledge that inspectors use throughout their careers.

Civil, Baseplates & Grout
Understand the inspection steps that control baseplate preparation, grout placement, sampling, and acceptance.
- Anchor rods, baseplates, shims, and forms
- Surface preparation and SSD condition
- Grout mixing, water control, and placement
- Sample collection and field documentation
- Twenty-four-hour inspection and repair verification
- Release for grout and final acceptance
Codes & Standards Navigation
Learn how requirements are organized and how to locate the controlling answer without republishing copyrighted code books.
- AWS D1.1 organization and clause navigation
- ASME B31.3 piping requirements
- ASME Section IX: WPS, PQR, WPQ, and variables
- API 1104 qualification and inspection concepts
- AISC, ASTM, ACI, OSHA, and project specifications
- Following references, tables, figures, notes, and exceptions
Field Guidance
Step-by-step guidance for the situations inspectors actually encounter in the field.
- What controls the work and what the inspector checks
- Acceptance criteria, tools, and measurements
- Common problems and realistic field examples
- Receiving inspection and final walkdowns
- NCRs, observations, repairs, and verification
- What to photograph, record, and communicate
Inspector Resources & Documentation
Reusable tools that help inspectors organize work, document facts, and maintain traceability.
- QC daily reports, weld reports, and receiving reports
- Weld maps, weld logs, and welder continuity logs
- WPS and visual-inspection checklists
- Flange logs, hydrotest checklists, and torque witness sheets
- Bolt, baseplate, and structural walkdown forms
- NCR, observation, RFI, punch-list, and repair-verification templates

What Every Lesson Will Include
Every subject is built to help you understand the requirement, recognize it in the field, and document it correctly.
Release Roadmap
Complete CWI course, welding-process library, basic field guidance, code navigation, and inspector templates.
Structural steel, B31.3 piping, flanges, bolting, grout, NDE, and additional practice examinations.
Advanced search, community learning, job connections, continuing education, and company training tools.
We do not just teach you how to pass the test.
We teach you how to become the inspector the field expects—and keep building knowledge throughout your career.
