Training

As with all new and evolving inspection methods, good training of guided wave inspectors forms a critical part of the development of the technology. Experienced, skilled inspectors can make a significant difference in the reliability of the results that are obtained, especially in situations when any indicated defective areas cannot be measured by complementary methods. Therefore, NDT Ultrasonics has always been fully committed to developing and improving quality training modules that allow inspectors to learn as effectively as possible. We offer both classroom and on-site training, for both simple and complex applications.
