NDT Training

UT Course in Jamaica.

Our NDT Training courses have been developed to increase the participant’s knowledge of the applicable NDT methods and techniques and their abilities to perform the method. Courses exceed the requirements of SNT-TC1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189, NAS 410 (MIL-STD 410) and ISO 9712. The courses are based upon ASNT Standard Topical Outlines for Qualification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel (ANSI/ASNT CP-105-2016). All topics in the body of knowledge for the method, plus additional topics as necessary to meet your requirements, are addressed. Our courses are task based so that the students not only learn the theoretical aspects of the method but also how to perform the tasks associated with the method. They will be able to DO upon completion of the course.

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.

In addition to our standard courses, we can write courses tailored specifically to meet your needs.

Courses are presented by instructors possessing both ASNT Level III Certification in the method being instructed and training in instructional methods.

Course length is determined by the requirements of the specified documents. Generally, the surface methods, PT, MT, and VT require around twenty hours for certification to Level II (aerospace specification usually 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 handout of course training materials and a textbook if one is used for the course. Quizzes are given throughout the course to measure the student’s comprehension and areas of weaknesses are addressed. Courses are generally limited to eight students to ensure adequate one-on-one time during the practical portion of the course. Course completion exams are given to ensure that the student has achieved the course objectives. Course completion certificates are issued upon successful completion of the course. A “task” checklist is used to ensure that each student can perform the required tasks.
