BASIC

Content:

A qualification in BASICS (also referred to as a qualification in fundamentals or a Z qualification) is a precondition for Level 3 certification in the principal inspection methods, e.g. radiographic inspection or ultrasonic inspection. The training course imparts knowledge both of the fundamentals of personnel training and of
materials, manufacturing technologies and flaw analysis. The fundamentals of, differences between and interconnections between all the non-destructive testing methods are also topics of this training course.

Programme:

BASIC Parts A+B:

Historical evolution of personnel certification regarding non-destructive testing methods

Independent certification to DIN EN 473–DGR

Employer certification based on SNT-TC-1A and CP-189

Materials science and materials engineering

Manufacturing methods and flaw analysis

Operation-related imperfections

BASICS Part C:

Radiographic testing (RT), fundamentals at Level 2

Magnetic particle testing (MT), fundamentals at Level 2

Ultrasonic testing (UT), fundamentals at Level 2

Penetrant testing (PT), fundamentals at Level 2

Visual testing (VT), fundamentals at Level 2

An overview of non-destructive testing methods (including other methods such as leak testing, eddycurrent testing, sound emission analysis, infrared thermography, wave analysis, neutron radiography)

Participants and conditions:

This training course addresses persons who are trained engineers or technicians or Level 2 examiners withseveral years’ experience of non-destructive testing.

If the candidate does not have pertinent professional experience at Level 2, practical training courses shouldbe followed as appropriate prior to taking the practical Level 2 examination.

Fees:

Training: (10 days) €2,450.–

Examination to DIN EN 473 (1 day): €695.–

Basics examination based on ASNT Guideline SNT-TC-1A: €520.–
