About the course

Master the principles and techniques of TOFD with this comprehensive course. You will dive deeper into the advanced aspects of ultrasonic flaw detection, building the expertise needed to perform, analyze and report on TOFD inspections independently.

In this training, you will:

  • Understand TOFD principles and wave diffraction theory.
  • Learn to set up and calibrate the TOFD data collection system.
  • Master the process of collecting and storing TOFD data scans.
  • Gain practical experience in editing, analyzing and evaluating TOFD data.
  • Learn to draft work instructions suitable for Level 1 personnel.

Who should take this course?

This course is perfect for professionals seeking to specialize in high-accuracy ultrasonic flaw detection using TOFD. It is designed for:

  • Certified Level 2 technicians looking to expand their expertise into TOFD.
  • NDT inspectors and quality control specialists responsible for weld integrity assessments.
  • Engineers and supervisors involved in pipeline, pressure vessel and structural inspections.
  • Industry professionals working in oil and gas, power generation and infrastructure who require advanced NDT methods.

Certification and examination

If you pass the exam – and meet the additional requirements – you can obtain an internationally recognized ISO 9712 TOFD certificate, allowing you to conduct TOFD inspections independently and in line with international standards.

This will enable you to independently perform TOFD inspections, evaluate results and produce detailed reports in compliance with industry regulations.

KTN Belgium is a Hobéon SKO-certified examination and training center, so you can be confident that your certification is internationally recognized, demonstrating your skills and knowledge in advanced ultrasonic flaw detection techniques.

An internationally recognized certification will enhance your career opportunities in the NDT industry.
