AUT Data Interpretation Course in TWI Middlesbrough

A new delivery of the Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) Data Interpretation Package course is currently underway at the TWI Training facilities in Middlesbrough. Running from 11–15 May 2026, the course has welcomed four candidates undertaking advanced training in AUT data interpretation under the instruction of Graeme Stothart.

Supporting the advanced NDT capabilities, automated ultrasonic testing (AUT) plays an increasingly important role in modern non-destructive testing (NDT), particularly within sectors where weld integrity, inspection accuracy, and efficient data analysis are critical. The AUT Data Interpretation Package is designed to support personnel involved in the evaluation and interpretation of AUT inspection data, helping candidates strengthen their understanding of inspection outputs, signal responses, and flaw assessment techniques.

Focused Technical Training

Delivered through a combination of technical instruction and practical interpretation exercises, the course provides candidates with insight into:

  • AUT inspection principles
  • Data evaluation and interpretation
  • Signal analysis techniques
  • Defect characterisation
  • Industry applications and inspection practices

The programme supports professionals working in industries such as oil and gas, pipeline inspection, fabrication, and engineering, where advanced ultrasonic testing methods continue to see growing use. With a smaller group of four candidates, the current delivery allows for a focused learning environment and increased interaction throughout the programme.

Training is being delivered by the instructor, Graeme Stothart, supporting delegates through the technical aspects of AUT interpretation and helping develop practical understanding aligned with industry inspection requirements.

As inspection technologies continue to evolve, specialist training in advanced NDT methods remains an important part of workforce development across engineering and industrial sectors.

Courses such as the AUT Data Interpretation Package are designed to help inspection personnel build confidence in advanced data analysis and support the continued development of technical inspection capability.
