Course Overview
This course is suitable for all personnel including testers, inspectors, engineers, and surveyors who require a thorough and comprehensive introduction to advanced ultrasonic applications and gain a qualification in Time-of-Flight Diffraction (ToFD). This course is also suitable for personnel working in the aerospace industry. The E-Learning training is part of the blended learning ToFD package, which provides a mix of E-Learning and in-class practical training followed by certification to BS EN ISO 9712. The online modules can be studied when and where it is most convenient and at your own pace. The package separates the learning of key concepts from the learning of a specific instrument, coupled with interactive exercises focused on the principles behind set-up, calibration, acquisition and data analysis. An intuitive logical training structure, which invariably helps the students understand key concepts, step-by-step. In addition to the E-Learning, you will then attend practical classroom training for 5 days.
Prerequisite(s)
- CSWIP candidates should be qualified to a minimum of BS EN ISO 9712 in Ultrasonic Testing (CGSB/CSWIP/PCN). CSWIP certification is available for candidates holding ASNT UT Welds. It will be considered on an individual basis and evidence of training and experience presented to the training centre on application. Additionally, holders of ASNT UT Welds qualification will be required to sit the CSWIP UT Welds Level 2 General Paper. PCN candidates must be qualified to a minimum of BS EN ISO 9712 (CGSB/CSWIP/PCN) Level 2 Ultrasonic Testing. The minimum duration for experience prior to or following success in the qualification examination is: 4 months for CSWIP 12 months for PCN
