Has anyone completed any ndt training online from worldspec.org?
if so is internationally recognised and is it good? cause it is alot cheaper than going to a training centre.
cheers

Hi mate,

You know what they say: Buy Cheap, Buy TWICE!

Good luck......

I wouldn't trust anything from Saskatchewan! Just kidding, but I don't know if I'd take the on-line route to study NDT unless you already have a lot of practical experience.

You'd probably get decent training for the written exams but (in Canada anyway), there's also a practical part where you examine test pieces for defects. If you don't have access to tools and equipment such as a MPI wetbench, UT set ,etc. it would be pretty hard for you to pass this part of the test without previous experience.

I'd also check with your local certifying agency to see if they do recognize this outfit before forking over any money, like the previous poster suggested, you may regret going the cheap route.
