    Welcome to the world of nondestructive testing! Whether you’re brand new to the
    field or simply interested in learning what nondestructive testing (abbreviated NDT) is
    all about, this course will show you the ropes—sometimes literally, as technicians
    perform their inspections in the unlikeliest of places.

    10
    By the end of the course, you should develop a broad knowledge of all that NDT
    entails, from industries where it’s applied using up to 16 different methods to the
    types of defects and flaws it detects to career opportunities in the profession.

    11
    Overall, you should come away with an enhanced appreciation of the many ways NDT
    works diligently to make the world a safer place.

    12
    You can probably imagine a world without computer technology. Think of the
    personal frustration and societal breakdown that would ensue if the Internet stopped
    functioning, even for a single day.

    13
    But what would the world be like without nondestructive testing?

    14
    Perhaps not as chaotic as a world without computers, but certainly just as dangerous.

    NDT is used to:


    • ensure product integrity and reliability,
    • control manufacturing processes,
    • lower production costs, and
    • maintain a uniform quality level.

    15
    Used correctly, NDT can help ensure the quality of materials and joining processes
    during fabrication and construction.

    16
    In-service NDT is used so that the products in use continue to have the integrity
    necessary to ensure their usefulness and the safety of the public.

    17
    The purpose of this course is to serve as an introduction to nondestructive testing for
    learners who are new to the field, want to learn more about NDT, or are just starting
    an NDT career.

    18
    By the end of this course, you should be able to provide an overview of
    nondestructive testing in relation to:

    • Its importance in modern life.


    • Its primary goals, tasks, and responsibilities to the general public.
    • The industries where it is most applied.
    • Six different NDT occupations and the importance of ethics on the job.
    • The function and responsibilities of three different professional levels in NDT.
    • The qualification and certification process for NDT personnel.
    • The features, principles, and applications of 16 different NDT methods.
    • Selection of the right NDT method or technique for the job at hand.
    • Types of discontinuities detected by NDT and where they occur in the
    manufacturing process.
    • Documentation of procedures and reporting of inspection results.
    • Career and educational opportunities.

    19
    Overall, you should develop an appreciation of the ways NDT is indispensable for
    ensuring that the materials and products of manufacturing and technology are safe
    for human use—from the very largest scales to some of the smallest.
