1. Liquid Penetrant Testing levels I & II
Introduction
The Liquid Penetrant testing method is an effective means for detecting
discontinuities which are open to the surface of nonporous metals and other materials.
Typical discontinuities detectable by these methods are cracks seams, laps, cold
shuts, laminations and porosity.

4. Radiographic Testing
Introduction.
Very short wavelength electromagnetic radiation namely X-rays or gamma rays,
will penetrate through solid media but will be partially absorbed by the medium.
The amount of absorption which will occur will depend upon the density and
thickness of the material and radiation passing through, and also the characteristic
of the radiation. Strictly speaking, the term radiography implies a process in which
an image is produced on film.
4.1 Radiographic testing level 1
Training Objectives
This course is intended to provide the basic knowledge of industrial radiography to

5. Welder Certification
Introduction
A welder operators success depends upon staying up to date with the latest in
welding and fabricating technologies and equipment, looking for cost-effective
saving ideas and problem solving technologies.
Before a welder does any production work, his employer needs some idea of the
welders ability. Finding out that a welder is not capable after he has been hired or
ruined production pieces, or welded on pieces where inspection might find
substandard welds is neither economical nor responsible.
Course Objectives
This course is intended to provide detailed instruction on welding and joining
technology and the need for welding procedures and specification and how to
achieve top performance from equipment and consumables to ensure:





Increased product reliability.
Increased product safety.
