Course Details

Non Destructive Testing

Course Overview

To provide the essential skills and knowledge to enable the candidates to take on their job roles efficiently as a NDT (UT) Inspector level II operations and maintain a safe working environment.

This training course is designed to upskill the engineering technicians working within their own trade discipline or as an appreciation of another, where knowledge and understanding may be required.

The entry requirements are a positive attitude to learning and clear motivation to study with evidence of an appropriate level of practical ability and skills.

Upon successful completion of the training course, candidates will be awarded a ‘Certificate of attendance’ from NTI and a Ministry of Manpower Accredited Certificate.

Generally, the work that the learners are undertaking on the short-courses can be quite intensive so it is important that they stay focused yet, at the same time, enjoy their experience in the centre. The centre will employ different pedagogical strategies to help achieve this and these may consist of the following although this list is not exhaustive: 1. Teacher Centred Methods • Lecture • Explanation • Demonstration • Questioning 2. Active Methods • Discussion • Group Work • Quiz • Simulations 3. Student Centred Methods • Reading • Private Study • Homework • Assignments/projects • Reports • Guided Discovery
