Is it for me?
This course is suitable for ultrasonic testing equipment vendors, auditors or supervisors – anyone who works indirectly with ultrasonic testing. The Ultrasonic Testing Appreciation eLearning package brings you into contact with ultrasonic testing, even if the testing is conducted by someone else.
This eLearning package gives you 60 days access to the eLearning materials.
The training is delivered step by step, one section at a time, but free of any time pressure to complete the individual modules.
Upon completing the full package you will be awarded a Certificate of Satisfactory Completion.
