Is it for me?
This course is suitable for all personnel including testers, inspectors, engineers, and surveyors who require a thorough and comprehensive introduction to ultrasonic testing of welded joints. This course is also suitable for personnel working in the aerospace industry and can be found under the Aerospace section.
The eLearning training is part of the blended learning ToFD package, which provides a mix of eLearning and in-class practical training followed by certification to BS EN ISO 9712. The online modules can be studied when and where it is most convenient and at your own pace.
The package separates the learning of key concepts from the learning of a specific instrument, coupled with interactive exercises focused on the principles behind set-up, calibration, acquisition and data analysis. An intuitive logical training structure, which invariably helps the students understand key concepts, step-by-step.

In addition to the eLearning element of the Ultrasonic Testing training, you will then attend practical classroom training for 5 days.
Note for candidates wishing to enrol on a course which includes blended learning: It is a mandatory requirement to issue access to the online material no less than 30 DAYS prior to the commencement of the in-class element of the course. There shall be no exception to this requirement, please plan your study to embrace this requirement.
