NDT Training is required for anyone wanting to pursue a career in the inspection of most metallic structures, such as cranes, oil pipelines, airplanes, buildings, etc. Non-destructive testing is a descriptive term used for the examination of materials and components in such a way that allows materials to be examined without changing or destroying their usefulness. NDT or NDE can be used to find, size, and locate surface and subsurface flaws and defects.

NDT plays a crucial role in everyday life and is necessary to assure safety and reliability. Typical examples are found in aircraft, spacecraft (shuttle), motor vehicles, pipelines, bridges, trains, power stations, refineries, buildings, and oil platforms which are all inspected using NDT. We are a Quality Assurance management tool that can give impressive results when used correctly. It requires an understanding of the various methods available, their capabilities and limitations, and knowledge of the relevant standards and specifications for performing the tests. Materials, products, and equipment that fail to achieve their design requirements or projected life due to undetected defects may require expensive repair or early replacement. Such defects may also be the cause of unsafe conditions or catastrophic failure, as well as loss of revenue due to unplanned plant shutdown.
