Magnetic Particle Testing Blended Learning 8–10 July 2026

In today’s high-integrity engineering industry where safety, precision, and reliability are non-negotiable; Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) plays a critical role. Among the most widely used methods for detecting surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials is Magnetic Particle Testing (MT).

If you are looking to advance your career in inspection, welding quality assurance, or asset integrity, the upcoming MT Blended Learning course running from 8 to 10 July 2026 offers a flexible, internationally recognised route to gaining essential skills for certification.

What is Magnetic Particle Testing?

Magnetic Particle Testing is a proven NDT method used to detect cracks and discontinuities in materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and their alloys. It is widely used across industries including:

• Oil and gas
• Power generation
• Aerospace
• Manufacturing
• Rail and infrastructure

The principle is simple yet powerful - when a material is magnetised, any surface-breaking flaw disrupts the magnetic field, causing “flux leakage”. Fine magnetic particles applied to the surface gather at these leakage points, clearly revealing defects invisible to the naked eye.

Why Choose Blended Learning?

The MT Blended Learning course is designed to give you the best of both worlds:

• Flexible Online Learning

You begin with structured eLearning modules that allow you to study at your own pace. These modules cover the following topics:

1. Fundamentals of magnetism and magnetic fields
2. Steel metallurgy and manufacturing processes
3. Welding, casting, and wrought product defects
4. MT principles, equipment, and techniques
5. Interpretation and reporting of results

• Practical Classroom Training

After completing the theory modules, you will attend hands-on practical training at a dedicated training facility. At this stage the candidates will:

1. Apply magnetic particle inspection techniques
2. Work with real inspection equipment
3. Learn defect recognition and interpretation
4. Develop confidence in real inspection scenarios

• Industry-Recognised Certification

The course is aligned with BS EN ISO 9712 standards and prepares candidates for globally recognised certification schemes such as CSWIP and PCN.

Who Should Attend?

This course is ideal for NDT technicians and inspectors, welding inspectors, quality control personnel, and mechanical and fabrication engineers as well as anyone seeking a career in inspection or asset integrity. Whether you are entering the field or upgrading your qualification, MT certification is a strong foundation for long-term career growth in engineering inspection roles.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

1. Understand the principles of magnetic particle inspection
2. Carry out MT inspections independently
3. Identify and interpret surface and near-surface defects
4. Write clear and professional inspection reports
5. Meet international competency standards for NDT certification

Course Dates: 8–10 July 2026

This upcoming session is a structured blended programme, combining online study with intensive practical training. Participants are expected to complete online learning prior to attending the in-class component. It ensures that valuable classroom time is focused on hands-on application, expert guidance, and exam preparation.
