Overview of Our NDT Training Courses
Industry-Recognised NDT Certification Programs
Each course is designed to deliver both hands-on practical training and comprehensive technical instruction, enabling participants to:
- Accurately interpret test results
- Evaluate and classify defects
- Meet stringent industry inspection and compliance standards
Our programmes are ideal for professionals seeking industry-recognised certification and real-world competency in NDT applications.
Training for Beginners and Experienced Professionals
At Cutech, our structured NDT training courses cater to both newcomers and experienced professionals in the non-destructive testing (NDT) field.
- Beginners benefit from guided, foundational learning in core NDT methods, with a focus on developing technical competence and understanding inspection principles.
- Experienced personnel can pursue advanced qualifications such as NDT Level 2 certification or progress into supervisory, auditing, or technical advisory roles.
NDT Career Pathway Overview:
- Level 1 Technician
Performs NDT under supervision; follows established procedures but does not interpret results. - Level 2 Technician
Independently conducts tests, interprets results, and evaluates indications. Most industry inspectors are certified at this level. - Level 3 Professional
Holds senior-level responsibilities including procedure development, team supervision, audit functions, and—where applicable—training and certification of other NDT personnel.
Our training supports progression at every stage, providing a clear and recognised development path aligned with international standards such as ISO 9712 and ASNT

Cutech’s NDT Level 2 training combines comprehensive theory, practical instruction, and assessment to ensure participants meet both the technical competence and safety-critical requirements demanded by ASNT (SNT-TC-1A) & ISO 9712 and equivalent global standards.
Training Modules and Practical Exam
At Cutech, our NDT Level 2 certification course integrates classroom-based instruction, practical hands-on training, and formal assessments to ensure participants achieve competency as defined by ASNT (SNT-TC-1A) & ISO 9712.
Core Training Modules Include:
- Fundamental principles and theory of the selected NDT method
- Safe and correct use of testing equipment, including calibration procedures
- Accurate interpretation and evaluation of test indications
- Preparation of inspection reports in line with industry codes and standards
- Application of safety protocols specific to each testing method
Participants will undergo both:
- A practical examination to demonstrate proficiency in real-world testing scenarios
- A written theory exam to assess knowledge of standards, techniques, and safety
Certification is awarded only upon successful completion of both exams, in full compliance with ASNT (SNT-TC-1A) & ISO 9712 requirements.
Eligibility Criteria and Certification Validity
To meet the eligibility criteria to enrol in a Level 2 programme under our NDT training courses, candidates must meet the following:
- Have completed a recognised Level 1 course in the applicable method or demonstrate equivalent knowledge
- Meet the minimum required hours of practical experience as outlined in ASNT (SNT-TC-1A) & ISO 9712 Level 2 guidelines
- Be physically capable of performing NDT tasks, including meeting visual acuity standards
Certification is valid for five years and can be renewed by maintaining competence and fulfilling the required industry experience.
NDT Inspector Course Options
Candidates who have completed NDT Level 2 certifications often progress into NDT inspector roles. This section outlines the responsibilities of an inspector and how our NDT Inspector Course prepares candidates for this career path.
Role and Responsibilities of an NDT Inspector
An NDT inspector is responsible for evaluating materials and structures, identifying defects, and ensuring compliance with applicable safety and quality standards.
Cutech’s NDT training courses prepare candidates for inspection roles across industries by emphasising both practical testing methods and procedural compliance.
Inspectors must be capable of interpreting results, documenting findings, and contributing to safety and quality assurance processes with accuracy and consistency. These skills are essential in sectors such as oil and gas, marine, infrastructure, and manufacturing.
Core Competencies Taught in Inspector Courses
At Cutech, our inspector courses cover a comprehensive range of essential skills, including:• Ultrasonic testing for welds, forgings, and castings
• Defect classification and detailed reporting
• Interpretation of results according to standards
• Understanding and application of quality control systems and relevant industry codes
• Effective communication of findings to supervisors, engineers, or clients
Our courses are specifically designed to meet the expectations of both local and international employers.
Hands-On Practical Training and Simulations
Our NDT training courses offer access to fully equipped NDT laboratories featuring live simulation setups for radiographic testing, magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrant testing, and more.
We emphasize a hands-on approach to ensure candidates not only master theoretical knowledge but also gain confidence in applying their skills in real-world inspection settings. Our NDT inspector training incorporates real-time simulations across key testing methods.
