ITC Level I Thermography Course

ITC offers certification training to recognised standards and is an accredited Authorised Training Organisation (ATO) for the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) as per the requirements of ISO 18436. BINDT is an accredited certification body offering personnel certification against criteria set out in International and European standards.

This course prepares you for qualification as a level 1 certified thermographer. You will learn the basics of infrared, how to operate the camera under different conditions and for various purposes, how to make an appropriate judgement of the measurement situation in the field and identify potential error sources. You will be able to do IR inspections following written guidelines and to report the result of this inspection.

The ITC Level 1 Infrared Thermography Training Course is suitable for beginners, thermal camera users who wish to become professional thermographers, electrical & mechanical predictive maintenance teams, building diagnostics professionals and of course electricians & plumbers.

It is recommended that participants are familiar with basic thermal imaging camera operation to obtain maximum benefit from the course.
