Course Description

The University of Ultrasonics has traditionally concentrated on advanced UT skills training. Now due to the requests of many, we are proud to offer periodic set scheduled conventional ultrasonic training. We can also provide this training onsite for companies with multiple candidates.

Our conventional training programs are designed just like our advanced training programs which have been so successful over the years. This class will blend the theoretical concepts of the technology with hands-on laboratory exercises. We structure our material in a way to maximize each students learning potential. We prepare you by training with state-of-the-art equipment and have one the largest collections of real flawed samples which also help prepare individuals for the real world.

Our UT Level 1 training class follows and fulfills the Topical Outline for Qualification of Nondestructive Testing Personnel CP-105. If you are seeking Level 1 or higher certifications to any of the standard certification systems (SNT-TC-1A, CP-189, NAS410, etc.) then this class is for you.

If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us at any time.
