Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
Employers often prefer to hire non-destructive testing specialists who are certified. Employers may certify NDT employees themselves or NDT professionals may receive certification from a third-party certification board. To be eligible for certification, candidates must have achieved a certain level of education, training, and work experience, and they must pass a vision test. The American Society for Nondestructive Testing offers various certifications for different levels of expertise in specialized areas.
