There is no law in north america that says you have to be certified to use an IR camera anywhere.
Certification is simply a school stating you have achieved a certain level of education or training. It gives you no legal standing (especially when none is required). It does not make you an expert, no matter what school you attend.
Certification does not mean “licensed”. License means that a gov’t body has given you permission to operate within their jurisdiction.
BTW… there is no license required to use and IR camera either.
You will not be a “Certified Thermographer” so don’t advertise that you are.
There are “Certified Thermographer’s” in the world, but none here…
If U advertise that you are Certified, it is the same as claiming your have a PhD.
IAW ASTNT Certification is written testimony of qualification. Your course may be certified, but you are not.
BINDT certifies in PCN and ASNT offers Level III Thermographer Certification in NDT and PdM.
Yes I know those requirements but my question was asking is the Johns course free now? Does this 3 hour video equate to his course? Is it free for members?
No, our IR class is not free. The 3 hr video class does not take the place for a more intense thermography class (12 hours IR required - see last condition)
No, our live 16 hour IR class is not the same information as the 3 hour video class.
The 3 hour video class Ben is speaking of is a good primer and will help new students.
Just took the video course and yes, the toilet is empty.
Is there any way of looking at the missed questions on the test (with selected answers)…I believe some need some tweeking. One question asks T or F for air leakage out of a register in the FLOOR. The register is in the CEILING. Is this a trick question or a mistake?
The question was a review of whether the image was of the floor or ceiling.
In compliance with federal and state standards, our international distance education policy does not allow us to disclose to students which questions were incorrectly answered. We can not provide the correct answers for missed questions either. The exam draws upon a larger pool of questions, so that each time you take the exam, you will not have the same exact questions provided. So, even if you did have the answers, it wouldn’t matter. You may take the online exam as many times as you like without penalty.
