 In all aspects of Non-Destructive Testing, the assurance of quality is measured by the amount of knowledge, skill, and experience an inspector has acquired. The best Inspectors are those who receive the best training and put it to use. At Apex NDT Training Services we pride ourselves on the fact that we can play a part in developing a measure of skill and confidence that is desired by all inspectors. This allows them to go into the field and put to use the information and hands-on experience they received in class which reflects well upon their employers. Our NDT Level I and Level II Courses are built on the fact that, as Level II inspectors for many years, our instructors experienced the same “Cookie Cutter” type of training that has become the norm in our industry. Apex NDT Training chose to develop a training program that helps to enrich and expose the students to real-life application of NDT formulas and principles that are often taught, but not usually incorporated into the Practical Exam. Much care is taken in order to assure that the written words of the lecture manuals make the transition to knowledge in the minds of our students. A true understanding of the training material by the students is our number one goal.

WEBINAR COURSES

Webinar and Online courses can greatly reduce travel cost. Our Webinar courses are NOT pre-recorded videos. The courses are attended by the students in real time, BUT FROM YOUR LOCATION and there is open communication between our instructor and the students. Students can ask questions, express concerns, or just ask the instructor to re-phrase information. There will still be travel involved due to the fact that our courses offer General, Specific, and Practical exams which we administer in person, but the time spent away from your location will be greatly reduced. What equipment is needed? You will need a laptop computer, an internet connection and a headset.

ONLINE COURSES / ON DEMAND TRAINING

Our On Demand Training courses allow for the flexibility of being able to attend training when it is convenient for your employees. These courses are recorded videos of our very best live courses which get as real as possible to attending one of our actual live courses. These particular recordings were selected because of the interaction between the students in the class and our ASNT NDT Level III instructor. The videos are accessed using a private link and are accompanied by our training manual which you can print, hole punched, placed in a binder, and provide to the student. He/she would then watch the videos and take quizzes at the designated points in the videos. The quiz material is contained within the binder and the answers provided within the videos.

Our ASNT Level III Consulting and Advising Services are very customized for each Company we serve. The American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) is the single largest certifying body of Level III personnel. The ASNT NDT Level III Certificate remains the most respected and widely accepted NDT certification throughout the world. Some of the Consulting and Advising services we offer are (but are not limited to) : Written Procedure development, Written Practice development for new companies or the implementation of new techniques, Advising new method selection, Inspection Project management, Third Party Client representation and Monitoring, Specification and Code Interpretation, Technical Support, and Technical Reporting.

Apex NDT Training Services also offers Companies the option to obtain our services on retainer for a period of one year, which would entitle them to ASNT Level III representation before and during Audits and ASNT Level III technical support within that year. All of these services would require prior scheduling and planning to accommodate both parties. This would require an annual retainer fee paid in quarterly installments, and would need to be renewed annually. This would also entitle companies to a discount on any of the Courses or services offered by Apex NDT Training Services. For more information about any of these services, please contact us by e-mail or by phone. Your time, interest, and consideration are greatly appreciated.

NDT Refresher & Familiarization Courses Many times it is not necessary to put an employee through an entire NDT Level I or Level II course. This is the case when an Employee will not be performing the actual inspection, but will be monitoring a job or merely overseeing the inspection process. The NDT Familiarization Course is designed specifically for this purpose. It gives a brief but thorough explanation of the NDT Method theory and covers certain Specifications that are applicable to your company’s industry. The students are taught how the various hands-on procedures are performed, but are not required to perform the practical (hands-on) part of the examination process. In other cases it is not necessary to put a former employee or potential employee through an NDT Level I or Level II course due to the fact that a company may accept previous certification from another organization as being valid for their own company. When this is the case it is still the responsibility of the Employer to insure that his inspectors are capable of performing to a certain skill level and that they are capable of maintaining a high level of quality. This is where the NDT Refresher Course comes into play. This is one way that an Employer can assess the employee’s knowledge and skill level by providing them with a short course designed to review important industry specific information and then give an examination to expose areas of weakness in the employee’s skill and experience level so that he/she can receive remedial training in those areas.

If your company requires employee recertification through a practical assessment, we can provide an ASNT NDT Level III in that particular NDT method that has the ability to perform this portion of the recertification process. We also offer auditing of your NDT/NDE inspectors as well as the associated documentation for compliance with ASNT SNT-TC-1A 2020 Edition or any other employee based certification requirements.

If your company is branching out into new NDT methods or simply contemplating doing so, we can assist. Please feel free to reach out to us for any consulting or simply to ask a question. We are always eager to help.
