In a world where convenience is king, cutting corners is the name of the game. More often than not, it seems like most businesses are aiming for products and practices that are fast and cheap.
When it comes to nondestructive testing, cutting corners is not only a sign of poor business integrity, it could also prove dangerous if extensive measures are not taken to conduct thorough inspections.
In the NDT field, level III certification signifies a technician who has gone above and beyond to achieve the highest level of certification and experience. Here is what you need to know about how level III services that nondestructive testing to the next level.
Becoming a qualified NDT technician is more than just a weekend workshop and a printable certificate.

Each of these levels of certification involves non destructive testing courses with seasoned professionals and hands-on training to sufficiently prepare technicians for complete their jobs with excellence.
All levels of certification, however, are not created equal. When a technician reaches NDT level III certification, they separate themselves as particularly skilled and dedicated. A level III NDT technician has exceptional qualifications, experience, and can offer a unique set of services.

Clearly, the qualifications required of a technician to reach level III certification are indicative of a professional who is a cut above the rest and exceptionally skilled.
It is not just the quantity of years that set level III technicians apart, but their quality that is also significant. Aside from the years of hands-on experience in the NDT field required to achieve their qualifications, level III technicians also spend time as supervisors and instructors in addition to being students.
As even the most basic theory of knowledge will indicate, the greatest demonstration of mastery over a subject is the ability to teach it to others.
