Hellier NDT offers four training courses for ultrsonic testing. If you have no prior experience or background in ultrasonic testing, we recommend starting with Ultrasonic Testing - Level I or Ultrasonic Testing - Thickness. More advanced training is available with our Level II course and weld inspection course.

Ultrasonic Testing - Level I
A comprehensive "first" course for persons with little or no background in ultrasonic testing. Although introductory, this program offers in-depth coverage of ultrasonic theory and instrument operation. Our own training manual, including detailed laboratory exercises, enables clear understanding of technical principles and test procedure. Lab training stresses procedural testing and proper recording of test results. Applications include precision thickness gauging, flaw detection and evaluation, plus introduction to angle beam and immersion testing. The course satisfies the training hours needed for Level I certification in accordance with SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189, and NAS-410. more details and course dates

Ultrasonic Testing - Level II
An advanced, laboratory-intensive course for developing practical skills. The course is applications oriented and includes weld inspection, bond inspection, and immersion techniques. Angle beam testing and defect evaluations are covered in detail. The course satisfies the training hours needed for Level II certification in accordance with SNT-TC-1A, ANSI/ASNT CP-189, and NAS-410. more details and course dates

Ultrasonic Testing - Level III (Refresher)
This refresher provides exhaustive preparation for the Ultrasonic Level III Examination. The program has been developed to greatly enhance the student's ability to pass ASNT and other tough Ultrasonic Level III Examinations. On the final day, a vigorous four hour examination is administered, immediately followed by a report of results that includes guidelines on where remedial work is needed. Upon completion, the student will know his current standing and what additional work is needed.

Ultrasonic Testing - Thickness
A comprehensive course for persons with little or no background in ultrasonic testing. Although introductory, this program offers in-depth coverage of ultrasonic theory and instrument operation for accurate thickness gauging. Lab training stresses procedural testing and proper recording of test results using state-of-the-art thickness gauges with waveform and digital display. This course satisfies the training hours needed for limited certification in accordance with SNT-TC-1A.

Ultrasonic Weld Inspection
This course is designed to supplement the existing Ultrasonic Level I & II training courses and provides special emphasis on the code requirements specified in AWS D1.1, AWS D1.5, ASME V and API 1104. This course includes intensive laboratory sessions on the calibration, scanning, interpretation and evaluation techniques specified in the above codes. Students will inspect a variety of weld samples containing an array of discontinuities using both straight and angle beam techniques.
