The course is designed for new and developing professionals in Inspection, Integrity & NDT, and staff moving into the field. It runs as a 5-day core programme or a 10-day extended programme, in classroom sessions across the Gulf, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia, as live online training, or in-house at your organisation. Every session mixes short expert input with workshops, case studies drawn from Inspection, Integrity & NDT and group exercises, so delegates return to work with tools they can use immediately.
