Advanced Infrared Resources
Infrared Thermography Level 1 Course Curriculum
Advanced Infrared Resources is a Company dedicated to delivering superior quality, personalized, hands on infrared thermography training.
Infrared Thermography Level 1 Course Curriculum
This course follows the recommended training requirements of ASNT for Level I Thermal/Infrared Certification. The course is a good mixture of audio, visual, and kinetic presentation material. The hands-on workshops ensure that the students leave the course with confidence in their ability to operate their IR equipment. Upon completion of the course the student should have mastered the skills necessary to not only operate their infrared system but to perform various inspections and report on their findings. Certification will be granted to students who successfully complete the written requirements. Class size is limited to give maximum interaction between instructor and students.
