SGS Offers Free Webinar on Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Certification

April 4, 2012 - PRLog -- Since non-destructive testing (NDT) certification presents a very complex process, interpreted differently around the world, it is of utmost importance to verify the competence of NDT inspectors and ensure the correct implementation of a certification process.

In light of a growing interest in non-destructive testing services, SGS is pleased to invite you to attend one of its free 60-minute webinars presented by the SGS Competence Center for Non-Destructive Testing, entitled “Understanding NDT Certification.”

With this free, globally available webinar on April 10 and April 12, 2012, SGS will explain the basic principles of NDT certification and the need to understand how to implement NDT certification systems correctly. With extensive experience and expertise in the field of non-destructive testing, SGS will inform participants about the difference between the central and employer-based certification, training, experience requirements and examinations for NDT inspectors. Moreover, participants will learn about the SNT-TC-1A employer-based certification scheme for NDT personnel, as well as new developments in NDT certification.

Hosted by Jason Scott, NDT Strategic Operations Development Leader at SGS, the free 60-minute webinar will be available across the globe in Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa in four sessions to meet the needs of attendees in every time zone.
