The Infrared Training Center offers a variety of courses including Level I, Level II, and Level III training and certification for infrared thermographers primarily involved in predictive maintenance.

All ITC Course Certifications meet or exceed ASNT SNT-TC-1A guidelines. Level I and Level II courses are certified by NETA (International Electrical Testing Association, an accredited standards developer for the American National Standards Institute, ANSI).

We want to ensure the students know how to use their cameras before we certify them so we emphasize a "hands on" approach to teaching in the world's best-equipped infrared teaching facilities. We cover all the infrared topics recommended by the ASNT guidelines and add topics we know are important to our students.

ITC students not only receive course manuals, but an extremely useful CD with camera and software manuals, technical publications, free shareware and software utilities, along with useful website addresses.

Level I Thermography

This course teaches new infrared thermographers how to use their IR cameras to collect quality data. Students learn to get accurate temperature readings, accounting for measurement effects such as distance and emissivity. The course covers basic IR thermogram interpretation through lab exercises, and theory/applications lectures. Students learn to avoid costly mistakes by distinguishing between direct vs. indirect targets, real hot spots vs. spurious reflections, and when to use qualitative vs. quantitative thermography. A wide variety of thermography applications are introduced.

Level II Thermography

This course reinforces Level I concepts with refresher material and introduction of new, more in-depth concepts in IR theory, heat transfer, spatial resolution, and applications. Students learn detailed image analysis and interpretation techniques. The Level II course covers advanced IR report generation and report template development. The applications labs are made more challenging for Level II students.

Level III Thermography

This three-day course for Level II thermographers advances their expertise so they can start and manage an Infrared Thermographic Program. The course material covers advanced Thermographic techniques, program management, temperature measurement device selection, calculating program ROI, and developing written procedures. Additionally the students are provided with information to help them pass the ASNT Level III method exam.

Commercial Roof IR Inspection Course

The Roof Moisture Survey Course is geared to the new IR camera user or practicing thermographer wanting focused training on how to perform roof moisture surveys.

Research & Development Thermography

The R&D infrared training course is intended to be appropriate for IR users with applications that are demanding or do not fit a maintenance or condition monitoring paradigm. The course material is distributed over three days. The participant of this course is expected to be a reasonably skilled user of his - or her - instrument. This course includes personalized consulting to guide students for their application needs.

Thermacam Reporter 2000 Professional Software Training

This course covers the details of template design with ThermaCAM Reporter 2000 Professional and also describes techniques for optimizing the report generation process.  Advanced IR image analysis techniques will also be discussed, including how to create formulas, histograms, line profiles, and trend graphs.
