Infrared Thermography Training Level 1

This course prepares you for qualification as a category 1 certified thermographer. You will learn about the basics of infrared, how to operate the camera under different conditions and for various purposes, how to do an appropriate judgement of the measurement situation in the field and identify potential error sources. You will be able to do IR inspections following written guidelines and to report the result of this inspection.

After a short introduction to thermography you will have hands-on training. The theory sections on heat and infrared will provide you with the basic knowledge needed to use the IR camera in the field, and to recognize and interpret thermal patterns. Strong emphasis will be put on the IR measurement techniques and the influence of emissivity and reflectivity on the measurement results. You will train the measurement on real-life lab equipment and you will also learn how and when to use qualitative and quantitative thermography. A short introduction to inspection routines and reporting principles will finalize the lecture. Now you will be well prepared to create a short case study which you will present in front of the class. The course ends with an exam including multiple choice questions and thermogram analysis.The class includes exercises and our trainers work with images, sketches, and simple diagrams to illustrate the theoretical parts in a descriptive way. No prior certification or experience is necessary to attend this course, although ownership of an infrared camera, laptop and software would be beneficial (bring along if possible).​

Through this Certification Course, participants have the opportunity to accrue 5 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points. 

 

Infrared Thermography Training Level 2

This course prepares you for qualification as a category 2 certified thermographer. You will learn about topics in infrared thermography to both deepen and broaden your knowledge about infrared physics, heat science, infrared measurement equipment and its application. As a Level 2 thermographer you shall provide guidance to category 1 personnel in the areas of equipment selection, techniques, limitations, data analysis, corrective actions and reporting.

After a short introduction to certification levels and procedures, and related standards, you will take an initial test. During the course you will repeat and learn more about thermal science and heat transfer as well as gain advanced knowledge on IR theory and IR equipment. The course ends with a multiple choice exam. 

The course includes advanced practical exercises and discussions about the participants’ professional experiences and cases from the field. Thermal and infrared science theory are taught by using formulas, diagrams, and graphs. The focus is on steady-state processes, but transient mechanisms are also included.

Through this Certification Course, participants have the opportunity to accrue 5 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points. 

Who Should Attend This Course?
 
This course is designed for thermographers holding a Level 1 certificate, who want to increase their knowledge about IR thermography and want to qualify as a Level 2 certified thermographer.
 
In order to attend a Level 2 Thermography Course
 
  • You will hold a valid Level 1 thermography certificate
  • You will have the recommended experience within thermography according to relevant standards
  • You will prepare a case study to be presented at the Level 2 course and submitted towards qualification at course closing.​
Course Benefits
  • Reinforce Level I infrared training concepts with refresher material covering the latest infrared camera, technology and thermal imaging application developments.
  • Expand your thermography knowledge with new, more in-depth concepts in infrared theory, heat transfer and spatial resolution.
  • Learn the basics of predictive maintenance thermography and overall infrared inspection program development.
  • Learn to calculate avoided costs with Excel-based application software (included).
  • Refine your image analysis and interpretation proficiency with in-depth thermal imaging survey and measurement techniques for predictive maintenance applications.
  • Learn to measure emissivity of common materials.
  • Improve your thermal analysis skills with more challenging laboratory and infrared field applications labs.
  • The training course and exam follows the ISO 18436-7 Category 2 standards, and the ASNT SNT-TC-1A Level II standard.
  • The course not only prepares the thermographer to carry out advanced thermal analyses and compile professional reports, it is also structured to prepare the delegate for the final examination on day five.
  • The course is vendor neutral and delegates are encouraged to attend with any thermal camera.​

Infrared Thermography Training Level 3

This course assumes the attending delegate to be an advanced, experienced user of thermal cameras, already familiar with all theoretical and practical aspects of the technology as taught in Levels 1 and 2. The delegate should preferably have in excess of two years practical IRT experience.

Course Benefits
  • The training course and exam follows the ISO 18436-7 Category 3 standard, and the ASNT SNT-TC-1A Level III standard.
  • The course is unique in that it combines practical workshop sessions with the relevant theory required by ISO 18436-7. The level 3 demonstration kits that are included in the price of the course, allow delegates to conduct their own practical workshop exercises (without having to share with other delegates), and then take these kits back to their workplace and show off their newly acquired skills.
  • The course not only prepares the thermographer to carry out advanced thermal analyses and compile professional reports, it is also structured to prepare the delegate for the final examination on day five.
  • The course is vendor neutral and delegates are encouraged to attend with any thermal camera.
Through this Certification Course, participants have the opportunity to accrue 5 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points.
