ASNT & NDT Training and Certifications

Certifications, Education

Before diving into NDT Training, it is important to understand the distinction and relationship between
Training and Certification in Nondestructive Testing (NDT)

NDT Certification – Key Points

• Certification is issued by the employer. If an employee leaves Company A, they must retest at Company B.

• Formal training and On the Job (OJT) follow the individual, but certification does not.

• Centralized certifications like ASNT Level III, are different from employer-based certifications.


General NDT Training and Certification is outlined in ASNT SNT-TC-1AThis doc explains the required number of formal training hours necessary for NDT certification. 

However, certification also involves on-the-job training (OJT) and general experience.

Each NDT method has specific hour requirements, which are detailed in ASNT SNT-TC-1A.
