Newly developed BMSs require bridge inspection data to be reported in a format very different from that currently in use. Ultimately, thousands of bridge inspectors must be trained to identify and quantify bridge elements and condition State data. Training for bridge inspectors will be provided in three ways: by the FHWA regional BMS specialists, through the future BMS training course, and in the existing NHI "Safety Inspection of In-Service Bridges" course.

A BMS version of the 2-week NHI bridge inspection course is now being presented to States that plan to adopt element-level data collection and reporting systems.

• Two-week NHI course "Safety Inspectors of In-Service Bridges" (CoRe Element version)
• Three-day NHI course on bridge management and bridge management software
• One-day NHI course on CoRe Element bridge inspection
