The changing face of NDT Training

摘要

The use of non-traditional i.e face-to-face training methods with the implementation of remote/online learning, have slowly changed the face of NDT Training. COVID-19 isolation has dramatically highlighted that alternative training methods are required now and for the future. Formal 3rd party certification for NDT Technicians is becoming the norm for recognition of qualification. A shift from 2nd Party (in-house) qualification towards ISO 9712 has significantly impacted the way technicians are trained. ISO 9712-2012 requires the following four main points for certification: 1. Visual Acuity 2. Completion of approved training 3. Evidence of supervised industrial experience 4. Satisfactory completion of examinations.
