This training compprises the basic of the Level 3 training. A successfully passed exam is prerequisite for the acquisition of a Level 3 certification in the main procedure. Moreover, we shall provide you here - apart from the general basics of the qualification of personnel - with a broad and solid basic knowledge. You shall receive an in-depth insight into the usual main methods as well as a comprehensive overview of other NDT-methods. 

BASIC Parts A+B:

• Historical development of personnel certification
• Certification according EN ISO 9712 / ACCP
• Employer certification based on SNT-TC-1A and CP-189
• Materials science and engineering
• Manufacturing methods and flaw analysis
• Operation-related imperfections

BASIC Part C:

• Radiographic testing (RT), fundamentals at Level 2
• Magnetic particle testing (MT), fundamentals at Level 2
• Ultrasonic testing (UT), fundamentals at Level 2
• Penetrant testing (PT), fundamentals at Level 2
• Visual testing (VT), fundamentals at Level 2
• An overview of non-destructive testing methods (including other methods such as leak testing, eddycurrent testing, sound emission analysis, infrared thermography, neutron radiography)

This training course addresses persons who completed technical education or  two years of engineering or Level 2 examiners withseveral years’ experience of non-destructive testing.

If the candidate does not have pertinent professional experience at Level 2, practical training courses should be followed as appropriate prior to taking the practical Level 2 examination.

 

 

 

In this part we will inform you about the different trainings we offer. For each training a short description will give you information about the content, duration and pre-requirements. All our trainings are in accordance with EN ISO 9712 or SNT-TC-1A. They are focusing on application issues. By using theoretical and practical work we ensure that skills for applying the respective methods are learned.

 

 

We all are looking forward to welcoming you to one of our seminars.

 

 

Content:

The Level 3 training course communicates advanced know-how and skills with regard to radiographic testing. The following table gives a specific insight into the training program.

Program:

• Scientific fundamentals
• Standard radiographic testing techniques
• Industrial radiation sources
• Digital radiographic testing techniques
• Evaluation of radiographs
• Quality control in respect of devices and images
• Special techniques
• Bodies of standards relating to the radiographic testing of weld seams
• Bodies of standards relating to the radiographic testing of castings
• Bodies of standards relating to the radiographic testing of tubes and pipes
• Drafting a procedure descriptions

Participants and conditions:

This training course addresses persons who have qualifications in engineering or comparable qualifications, have obtained a qualification in BASICS, have passed the Level 2 practical examination in RT and have appropriate professional experience. If the candidate has no Level 2 certificate, in addition to this training course he or she must also register for a practical course (32 h) and pass the practical part of the Level 2 examination.

 

 

 

 

This training course can be booked for Level 1 and Level 2 either separately or in combination. The individual procedural steps and inspection, measuring and test equipment systems will be discussed. System and procedural checks will be dealt with at depth. Bodies of standards such as  EN 571-1 / EN ISO 3452-1 corresponding to the various industrial sectors and also lists of flaws and evaluation criteria will be presented.

• Physical basics of the Penetrant Testing I
• Preparation and precleaning of the test surface
• Penetrants and the penetration process
• In-between cleaning and drying
• Developer and developing process
• Inspection and logging
• Physical basics of liquid penetrant testing II
• Test media and testing equipment
• Monitoring of the test system
• Evaluation of indications from penetrant testing
• Regulations for penetrant testing
• Study of objects and defects

This training course addresses persons who are skilled employees (with a certificate of proficiency) or have had similar training; prior to the qualifying examination they must furnish proof of at least 1 week’s professional experience (Level 1) and a further 3 weeks of professional experience (Level 2). If courses at Levels 1+2
are pursued simultaneously, the candidate must furnish proof of 4 weeks of professional experience prior to the qualifying examination.
