About this course

Visual Testing training covers direct and remote visual inspection, lighting and measurement requirements, borescope operation and technique, weld discontinuities, and acceptance criteria for welds and components.

VT underpins every other method, most inspections begin (and many end) with a documented visual examination. It is an ideal first qualification.

Fully produced

Complete, ready-to-take course

The course ships finished: a narrated teaching video, professional voiceover audio, written instruction with photorealistic imagery and technical diagrams, hands-on exercises, including a borescope scanning simulator and a lighting trainer, knowledge checks, module quizzes, and a final exam per level. Pass the final with the course complete and your formal-training certificate is issued automatically.
