You must have also heard about NDT Level 1 and NDT Level 2 Technician, know what is the difference between these two,

Difference between ndt level 1 and level 2 technician and non destructive testing technician certification

When you do an NDT course or take training in ndt techniques from an ndt level 3 person, ndt institution, and ndt third party, then they give you ndt level 1 and ndt level 2 certificate as per ASNT certification snt tc 1a.

Level 1 ndt operator does not have complete knowledge of Code Standards, documents control, reports, NDT Inspection, etc, so he works only as a Technician,
Now let’s talk about what is an NDT Inspector in Non Destructive Testing?

What is ndt inspector?
