WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Entry Level NDT Personnel, Inspectors and Supervisors

PREREQUISITES: All course attendees should have a basic knowledge of the Radiographic process. Basic knowledge may come from self study; computer based training or previous institution training. The principals of each method are discussed in each class with the applications and methodology covered in detail specific to the aerospace industry

ABOUT THE COURSE: This course meets the training requirements of Aerospace Industries Association - National Aerospace Standard NAS 410, Certification & Qualification of Nondestructive Test Personnel. The course complies with the training guidelines of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189 and American National Standard CP-105. The course addresses the inspection and process control methodology defined in aerospace standards. The course addresses the inspection and process control methodology of ASTM E1742 and incorporates the process control attributes of NADCAP (Performance Review Institute) specification AC7114/4. Attendees will receive formal classroom training, hands on inspection and be required to perform all process controls relative to aerospace requirements. Hands on inspection will include the processing of aerospace hardware and inspection of parts with known defects using aerospace approved materials and equipment.
