Course structure

We've made the course modular to best fit your schedule: you may purchase the full course right away, or take the online prep and in-class parts separately.
This course is available in English.
Online self-study course
Our online platform was designed for intuitive learning. It lets you track your progress, take quizzes and knowledge checks and learn using educational videos and animations produced in-house.
Duration:
40-50 hours of self-study.

Mock exam
The mock exam lets you test your knowledge before the final FROSIO exam.
Those who purchase the full course get access to a mock exam that is graded by our instructors. You get to test your knowledge through a set of open-ended questions.
Mock exam deadline: The mock exam will become accessible 31 days before the final FROSIO exam. We will check your answers and get back to you within 5 business days. You can take your mock exam 11 days before the final FROSIO exam at the latest, so our examiners have time to review your answers. In the last 11 days leading up to the exam, you may still fill out the mock exam, but there is no guarantee that it will be graded by our instructors.
Online webinars
Attend a series of 4 expert-led webinars that will cover important theory and give you the opportunity to engage with our trainers.
Online support group
Join our Whatsapp group and leave no question unanswered. We’re there to provide practical examples, fill knowledge gaps and help you learn in the way that best suits you. Along with practical information, get webinar reminders and links to short and quick quizzes covering the course topics.
And after class is done, this is where we plan to meet up and get to know fellow students and colleagues in the field of insulation inspection.
Classroom training
Our instructors are knowledgable professionals with decades of experience in the industry. They will cover important theoretical concepts and provide valuable hands-on training.
They will share tricks of the trade, cover case studies and answer any questions you may have.
Practical training is provided in the use of inspection tools and methods. 12 inspection stations are provided for students to develop and test their skills.
The final day in the classroom is reserved for the FROSIO exam.
| You may book your spot for the in-class training separately and join the class at any of the locations listed on the courses page. Please keep in mind that attending in-class training is one of the three requirements for attending the FROSIO exam and gaining certification, and you must purchase the online prep-course before the in-class training. |
