Non-destructive testing is a method of assessment employed in science and industry in order to determine the quality of different materials, components, and/or systems without causing any damage to them. NDT does not allow the complete transformation of the object that is being tested, which means that it is extremely useful in research, troubleshooting, service assessments, and even time and money saving. Non-destructive testing can be done in a variety of ways and is commonly used in mechanical, electrical, systems, aeronautical engineering, medicine, art, and civil fields.
In today’s customer-oriented world, almost all organizations need to practice non-destructive testing in order to meet the demands of their customers without any compromises. Within the NDT structure, there are several levels of management that oversee the testing process at different scales so that nothing slips between the cracks.
Organizations can mandate non-destructive testing training courses for all their employees in order to help them better serve their customers. These programs can prepare individuals for entry-level jobs as NDT technicians/ engineers in various industries. The primary objective of this training is to give individuals basic theoretical knowledge and familiarity with equipment and techniques that are used to check the integrity of the material being tested.
Through these programs, students learn how to do these non-destructive tasks by themselves and become skilled professionals in the field of their choosing.
A comprehensive NDT package program includes the following training modules –
- Magnetic Particle Testing
- Liquid Penetrant Testing
- Visual and Optical Testing
- Magnetic Flux Leakage Testing
- Ultrasonic Testing
- Radiographic Testing
- Eddy Current Testing
- Digital Radiographic Testing
- Radiographic Film Interpretation
Requirements for NDT training and certification
All applicants should be at least 18 years of age; those under 18 need written permission from their parent or legal guardian in order to be eligible for training.
All applicants should have proof of secondary education – a high school diploma or equivalent GED certification.
In order to gain your NDT certification, you need to score a minimum of 70% in general theory, specification, and practical examinations, with an average grade of 80% in all three examinations.
