The last level is where the professionals are skilled in their area of expertise and are ready to train and guide others.
There is a course curriculum followed by a test. The candidate will go through a series of workshops and infrared thermography tasks required to complete their certification. The concept of infrared thermography was recognized by the American Society for Non Destructive Testing, ASNT. This institute basically defines skill levels, administers the skills, tests them and then certifies many candidates on various levels of practice.
There are a variety of private organizations that have their own certification programs; however, candidates are advised to prepare for the ASNT exams as it is more beneficial.
