•  Developing hands-on training modules with practical applications, mock inspections, and real-world case studies.

•  Conducting performance evaluations and skill assessments to track trainee progress and ensure knowledge retention.

•  Implementing e-learning platforms, simulation-based training, and virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) tools for enhanced learning experiences.

•  Leading workshops, seminars, and refresher courses to keep personnel updated on the latest NDT advancements and best practices.

•  Training Courses Offered:

  • General Ultrasonic Testing (UT) Level 2: Covers fundamental ultrasonic principles, equipment operation, flaw detection, and interpretation of results, adhering to industry standards.

  • Time-of-Flight Diffraction (TOFD) Level 2: Focuses on TOFD principles, advanced scanning techniques, data analysis, and interpretation for accurate defect characterization.

  • Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) Level 2: Provides in-depth training on phased array technology, beam steering principles, sectorial scanning, and data evaluation for critical applications.

  • Full Matrix Capture/Total Focusing Method (FMC/TFM) Level 2: Covers advanced ultrasonic imaging techniques using FMC/TFM, including data acquisition, processing, and interpretation for enhanced flaw detection.

  • Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT) Girth Weld Operator Level 2: Specializes in AUT systems for pipeline girth weld inspection, covering calibration, scanning procedures, and defect analysis for pipeline integrity assessment.

Written Practice Preparation

•  Developing and maintaining a company-specific written practice in accordance with ASNT SNT-TC-1A, NAS 410, ISO 9712, or company-specific qualification programs.

•  Defining qualification, certification, and recertification requirements for all levels of NDT personnel.

•  Establishing minimum training hours, experience requirements, and examination criteria for each inspection method.

•  Creating detailed guidelines for training, testing, and on-the-job experience documentation.

•  Updating the written practice to incorporate new technologies, revised industry standards, and evolving regulatory requirements.

Develop Company Training Capability

•  Designing and setting up internal NDT training centers, laboratories, and hands-on testing facilities.

•  Procuring and maintaining state-of-the-art NDT equipment, calibration blocks, and training specimens for practical instruction.

•  Establishing partnerships with external training organizations, universities, and certification bodies to enhance training offerings.

•  Developing in-house trainers and mentoring programs to ensure continuity and sustainability of training initiatives.

•  Standardizing training materials, manuals, and multimedia resources for consistent instruction quality.

Develop and Maintain Company NDT Certification Plans

•  Establishing a formalized certification program for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inspectors.

•  Defining initial certification, renewal, and recertification requirements based on industry standards and company needs.

•  Coordinating practical examinations, written tests, and oral interviews to verify candidate competency.

•  Implementing recertification policies, continuing education programs, and periodic skill assessments to maintain inspector proficiency.

•  Supporting personnel in achieving third-party certifications (e.g., ASNT, PCN, ACCP, API, AWS, CWI, CGSB) when required.

Preparation and Delivery of Training Courses for Level 1, 2, and 3 Inspectors

• Designing and delivering structured training courses for Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inspectors across multiple UT techniques, including Ultrasonic Testing (UT, PAUT, TOFD, FMC/TFM)

•  Developing interactive course materials, including presentations, study guides, quizzes, and real-world case studies.

•  Conducting practical training sessions, ensuring trainees gain hands-on experience with inspection equipment and procedures.

•  Providing specialized training on advanced data interpretation techniques, signal processing, and defect characterization.

•  Tailoring courses to industry-specific applications, such as aerospace, oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing.

•  Preparing trainees for certification exams by administering mock tests, conducting review sessions, and offering personalized coaching.
