Course Overview

Introducing Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) at Core Institute of Technology

At Core Institute of Technology, we offer comprehensive training in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). NDT is a crucial procedure used to examine, test and evaluate components, assemblies and materials without endangering them or affecting their operation, so the component can still be used safely after the inspection or test.

With our ASNT Level II NDT certificate course training, you gain the knowledge and skills to spot changes or discontinuities in the properties of materials without destructive techniques. While destructive tests shed light on physical characteristics such as impact resistance, ductility and tensile strength, NDT is the more reliable way to find abnormalities and hidden faults in parts that go back into service.
