category: Infared Training author: thermali

High quality Infrared Training and interactive thermography training is provided to qualified professionals and thermography instructors. Apart from IR training, the institutes also offer Certification and Recertification in all the concepts of Infrared Thermography.

There are different levels of certification such as Level I, Level II and Level III Certifications. There are specialized modules on Building diagnostics, Roofing, Law Enforcement and related areas in Thermography. In order to provide world class training and an extensive Hands-on experience, the training institutes provide laboratories to learn IR applications.

The Level I Certification is the first of all the three levels in the Infrared Training. Candidates at this level are new to the thermographic diagnostics but hold years of experience in building and maintenance of complex systems. There is a written test basically on the equipment such as operation of Infrared cameras and software, measuring thermal anomalies, comparing similar equipment, etc.

The Level II certification is offered to experienced thermographer and troubleshooters. They can deploy, diagnose and troubleshoot the problem from the core. At this level the candidates undergo a more advanced technical Infared Training.

The Level III Certification is the most advanced Infrared Training whereby the candidates would be future Thermography Program Managers. They would be able to write predictive maintenance and inspection practices, they can develop test procedures, the severity criteria is determined, the intervals of equipment inspection are determined and they also calculate the return on investment that the thermography program can provide.

Professionals who are Level III certified can guide and train the Level I and Level II certified professionals. They also act as Point of Contacts for any kind of consultation or Review and maintenance of the equipment.
