Our staff of seasoned thermographers have
trained individuals worldwide for over 25 years. Today, The Professional Thermographers Association is
a world-wide infrared training institute providing education for all
brands of IR instruments and an extensive range of IR applications. All
our trainers are field-proven thermographers so our students learn from
experienced, practical infrared enthusiasts.
The American Society for Nondestructive Test (ASNT) has
established guidelines for the training and certification of Infrared
Thermographers. Any company or individual that is considering engaging in
providing infrared Thermographic inspections should review the ASNT
Recommended Training Guidelines and establish, or contract out the services of a
competent training organization for implementing a training program and certification
of its personnel.
For this industry to
continue in its advancement, new and practicing thermographers need to
be informed, educated and updated continually by working professionals, which is why our Level I, II and III
courses, based on the American Society of Nondestructive (ASNT) training
program & guidelines, are offered on a regular basis.
