I am a certified commercial diver currently working in the Gulf of Mexico working for the oil and gas industry. I am interested in attending this training program and possibly performing some bridge inspections but I'm not sure if I have all of the proper education. For instance; would I need to obtain an engineering degree to work in this field and will my ADC diving certification be acceptable to perform the work? Sorry for such a long comment, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
