Applied Inspection Systems is your source for quality Nondestructive Testing (NDT) training.
Our courses get you started with a rewarding career in NDT or provide seasoned NDT professionals with additional skills needed for success.
Through an industry-driven curriculum delivered by certified instructors, our training and certification will provide core requirements necessary to lead in the NDT industry.
AIS classes can satisfy the recommendations of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing.
AIS has the capability to create custom programs based on a specific client facility or asset inline with NDT services and industry. Employee or department group program options, based on availability.
This course is a basic general-knowledge class that includes an overview of inspection and testing, addressing many aspects of the process from terminology to techniques.
Training ensures the student is thoroughly familiar with the principles and practices of the specified NDT method related to the level of certification desired and applicable to the processes to be used and the products to be tested.
Recommended training course outlines and references for NDT Levels I, II, and III personnel, which may be used as technical source material, are contained in ANSI/ASNT CP-105 – Topical Outlines for Qualification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel.
