NDT COURSES
Overview
The courses contained in this area relate to Non-Destructive Testing with application to the civil and industrial sectors at various stages of manufacture, testing and checking.
The lessons, whose key feature is the multi-disciplinarity, may be followed completely online (through our e-learning platform and with the assistance of qualified professors/tutors) or blended, for the courses which also require to conduct practical tests.
All courses include general and specific information, also relating to the methods of testing, as well as additional information in order to meet the final exam Level II.
The recognition and approval of the courses by personnel/certification bodies, grant a high quality content and the ability to achieve, as appropriate, certificates of qualification of personnel.
A summary sheet is available for each course offered (see below the "Course catalogue" section for more information): all courses are evaluated through homework, quizzes, tests (also practical), exams and projects supplied by the professor/tutor during the program.
