NDT Training

 

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.
