NDT courses have been
developed to increase the participant’s knowledge of the NDT
technique and capabilities to perform the technique. Courses
are in accordance with the requirements of SNT-TC-1A. All
topics in the body of knowledge outlined in the above standard, plus
additional topics as necessary to meet your requirements, are
addressed. Our courses are tasked based so that the
students not only learn the
theoretical side of the
method but also how to perform the tasks associated with the method.
It has long been recognized that the
effective application of NDT methods depends on the knowledge and
skills of the person applying the method. Effective training
provides knowledge of the technical principles and the skills
required to properly apply the NDT processes.
Course length is determined by the
requirements of the SNT-TC-1A. Generally, the surface
methods, PT, MT require around twenty hours for
certification to Level II (some specifications require thirty-two
hours for PT or MT), while the methods used to investigate the
interior of an object, RT and UT, require 40 hours for Level I and
an additional 40 hours for Level II. All courses are presented using
PowerPoint presentations with a multimedia projector and a
whiteboard for clarification. Each student receives
their own book of course training materials. Quizzes are given
throughout the course to measure the students comprehension. Course
completion exams are given to insure that the student has achieved
the course objectives. Course completion certificates are
issued upon successful completion of the course.
At the conclusion of the course the
participants should be able to:
Demonstrate their understanding of
the body of knowledge of the NDT method;
explain the scope and limitations of
the method;
select the appropriate equipment and
accessories for the employer’s applications;
select the proper procedure;
select the proper calibration
standards;
calibrate the equipment;
apply the method and;
interpret and report the result of
the NDT.
Training can be conducted in your
facility and scheduled at
times convenient for you.
