CSWIP 3.1u & DMT in 2026
Hi everyone, I need some honest perspective.
I was planning to take my CSWIP 3.1u and DMT courses soon, with the goal of landing my first job in Dubai. However, given the current war on the Middle East, the strikes on infrastructure, and the general chaos in the region, I’m seriously reconsidering the timing.
I’m worried that with many projects in the UAE now disrupted, the market will be flooded with experienced inspectors fleeing the conflict, making it nearly impossible for a new 3.1u tech to find work. These courses are a huge investment, and I’m wondering if it's smarter to wait a few months to see how this geopolitical nightmare settles.
Is anyone currently in the region or seeing how this is affecting recruitment in the North Sea? I’m sure I’m not the only one stressed about this right now. Would appreciate your "gut feelings" on whether to push forward or hit the brakes.
