Before you enroll

Give your employer something concrete to review.

Share the course outline, instructor credentials and sample records with your employer or Responsible Level III. Confirm that the training fits your written practice before purchasing.

Formal training, with a clear place in qualification

NDT Academy provides online formal training and records of completion. A training certificate is not an ASNT personnel certification or an employer authorization to perform inspections. A Level III instructor's credential does not make the training provider ASNT-accredited.

Your employer determines acceptance under its written practice, including the applicable training outline and hours, experience, vision requirements, examinations and practical competence. Online models help teach principles; they do not replace the hands-on work or practical examinations your program requires.

Review the actual course before choosing a level

Compare training-hour frameworks. The figures above describe the current course requirements; they do not promise employer acceptance.

What to confirm with your reviewer

  1. The method, level and governing written practice that apply to your work.
  2. How the published outline and recorded training meet your employer's requirements.
  3. What experience, practical training, examinations or additional instruction remain.
  4. Which completion records the employer needs and who will review them.

An issued transcript documents training activity and assessment results. Public samples do not start a training timer, submit an assessment or generate a learner record.

Know the enrollment terms

Individual purchases include access for the life of the platform offering. Before recorded training begins, a government ID and selfie are required for identity verification. The public samples and this review packet require neither.

Refund requests are reviewed case by case. A purchase becomes ineligible after more than 30 recorded training minutes, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Read the full refund policy before starting.
