Level 1 Infrared Certification Course

Institute of Infrared Thermography, the leading independent provider of Infrared Training and Education invites you to the Level 1 Infrared Certification Course.

Feedbacks from previous attendees have always been positive so we are confident that you will definitely get an enriching and interesting experience from this course.

This course is designed to meet or exceed ASNT SNT-TC-1A, BINDT CM/IRT, the European Standard and ISO. A theoretical background is a must for understanding the real world problems that face thermographers in the field today. It will be combined with hands-on operator training which will teach you not only the basics of system operation, but also the finer points of your specific piece of equipment to give you maximum value from your infrared instrument. You will also learn the principles behind the main applications most industries are involved in. You will learn techniques and reporting procedures necessary to put together an effective predictive maintenance program.
