Additionally, refresher training is available in flexible half or full-day sessions.

Levels of qualification:
– Level 1: Conduct NDT operations under supervision, including equipment setup and result recording.
– Level 2: Perform and oversee NDT procedures, interpret results, and ensure compliance with standards.
– Level 3: Manage NDT operations, develop procedures, and interpret codes and specifications.

SNT-TC-1A Examinations:

Examination content is dictated by an employer’s written practice, necessary for certifying NDT personnel under the SNT-TC-1A scheme. This guideline assists employers in creating their own practices for NDT personnel qualification.

Access to written practices is available through our Level 3 Services Manager. Self-employed individuals may establish their own practices but may need re-examination elsewhere.

A written practice serves as a framework for controlling and administering NDT personnel, including training prerequisites, relevant methods, examination criteria, and pass marks. Employers are responsible for ensuring the efficacy of their qualification system
