About TXNDT
TXNDT grew from a desire to find the best NDT training available in Texas. When we could not find it, we created it.
Nondestructive testing is often seen as a requirement. To us, it is far more than that. It is a discipline built on precision, responsibility, and trust. The work performed by qualified inspectors directly impacts the safety, reliability, and performance of critical infrastructure across countless industries. When it is done right, it prevents failure, protects assets, and in many cases, protects lives. That level of responsibility is not something we take lightly, and it is the reason we care so deeply about how inspectors are trained.
TXNDT was built out of a need for something better. Over the years, working alongside inspectors in real-world environments, we saw a consistent gap between available training and the level of performance required in the field. Too many programs focused on time, paperwork, and minimum requirements. People were leaving with certifications, but without the confidence, awareness, and practical understanding needed to perform at a high level.
We knew that approach was not enough.
By combining decades of industry experience, we set out to build a training program that improved on what was currently available. Every aspect of our program was designed with intention. We focused on real-world application, technical understanding, and accountability. We built training that reflects the conditions, expectations, and challenges inspectors actually face in the field, not just what is written in a book.
We are not limited to a single industry, and neither is NDT. While many training programs focus heavily on oil and gas applications, our approach is built to support inspectors across all industries. From manufacturing and aerospace to infrastructure, power generation, and beyond, the fundamentals of NDT demand versatility, critical thinking, and adaptability. Our training reflects that reality and prepares students to apply their skills wherever the work takes them.
We also actively stay engaged with the NDT community and evolving industry standards. Technology, techniques, and expectations continue to change, and effective training has to evolve with them. We are constantly evaluating new equipment, methods, and best practices to ensure our students are learning what is relevant today, not what was standard years ago. This commitment allows us to continuously refine and expand our offerings while maintaining a high level of consistency and quality.
We believe learning should go beyond memorization. Inspectors need to understand why a method works, how to apply it correctly, and what is at stake when it is done incorrectly. That level of understanding builds confidence, and confidence leads to better decisions in the field.
At the same time, we believe this work should be engaging. There is real satisfaction in understanding a method, in identifying discontinuities others may miss, and in knowing the work you are doing has a direct impact. NDT is not just technical. It is a skill that can be developed, refined, and mastered, and that process is something we genuinely enjoy being a part of.
That passion carries into every class we teach. We enjoy this work, and we take pride in passing that mindset on to the next generation of inspectors. We expect our students to be involved, to ask questions, and to take ownership of their training. The result is not just better test scores, but better inspectors.
Today, TXNDT provides comprehensive NDT training and Level III consulting services to individuals and companies across a wide range of industries. Our field experience continues to shape everything we do, from how courses are structured to how certification programs are supported and improved. We work to ensure that training and qualification systems are not only compliant, but effective.
Our commitment to this industry is long term. As demand for qualified inspectors continues to grow, so does the need for training environments that can support that demand without compromising quality. With plans underway for a new, expanded training center scheduled for completion in 2027, featuring increased space and additional equipment, we are continuing to invest in the future of NDT training while maintaining the same high standards in every class we deliver today.
At its core, TXNDT exists to raise the standard of what NDT training can and should be. We are here to develop inspectors who understand the work, take pride in doing it correctly, and are prepared to perform when it matters most.
