Infrared Level II Online Distance Learning Course
Please note this course has the prerequisite of Level I training through a recognized provider.
Our Level II course is a 32 hour online course for the application of quantitative thermal imaging and temperature measurement for P/PM, Condition Monitoring, Quality Assurance and Forensic Investigations.
Course covers advanced infrared theory, equipment calibration, error sources, cross-verification with contact thermometers, advanced equipment operation, use of windows and filters, assigning temperature limits and repair priorities, and quantitative report generation.
If you plan to include precise temperature measurements in your findings and reports, you need the necessary knowledge to know how and when to provide such data. Our Level II course will prepare you for applications and thinking that is "outside of the box" and necessary for those wishing to advance their careers as professional thermographers. Course meets ASNT guidelines for the training of NDT personnel and optional certification testing is available.
Course includes:
Printed Reference Manual
Multi-Question Online Quizzes for each Course Unit
ExceptionŽ Report Generation Software
Regularly Scheduled Interactive Sessions with Level 3 Instructors
Hands-on Experiments Utilizing Provided Materials
Instructions for Self-Directed Field Assignments
Proof of Course Completion
