Master advanced visual inspection techniques and gain the confidence to evaluate welds, components, structures, and industrial equipment using internationally recognized inspection practices.
NDT Training Visual Testing (VT) is a Non-Destructive Testing method used to examine the visible surfaces of materials, welds, components, and structures for defects without causing any damage. It is often the first inspection method applied during manufacturing, fabrication, maintenance, and quality control because it is fast, reliable, and cost-effective.
A qualified VT Level II inspector is capable of evaluating inspection results, preparing reports, supervising Level I inspectors, and ensuring inspections comply with applicable codes and standards.
Visual inspection helps identify issues such as:
Moving from basic inspection knowledge to Level II certification allows professionals to take greater responsibility within inspection teams. Instead of simply identifying visible conditions, Level II inspectors analyze inspection results, determine acceptance criteria, prepare inspection reports, and supervise inspection activities.
Gain hands-on experience through supervised laboratory sessions using real inspection samples, welded joints, and industrial components. Practice industry-standard visual inspection techniques to build confidence for real-world applications.
The course follows current industry practices and internationally recognized inspection principles, covering essential topics such as weld inspection, surface defect evaluation, inspection procedures, documentation, and quality assurance.
Train with professional visual inspection tools, including weld gauges, magnifiers, inspection mirrors, LED lighting, borescopes (where available), and precision measuring instruments to develop practical inspection skills used across various industries.
The NDT Training Visual Testing (VT) Level II course gives you the practical skills and confidence to carry out professional visual inspections with accuracy. It can help you qualify for better job opportunities, take on greater responsibilities, and grow your career in NDT, QA/QC, manufacturing, oil & gas, construction, and other industrial industries.
The Visual Testing (VT) Level II course is designed to give you the knowledge and practical experience needed to carry out visual inspections with confidence. Instead of focusing only on theory, this training helps you understand how inspections are performed in real workplaces, where accuracy, attention to detail, and clear reporting are essential.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to identify surface and weld defects, use inspection tools correctly, understand inspection procedures, and evaluate findings against industry requirements. Practical exercises and real-world examples will help you build the confidence to apply what you’ve learned in manufacturing plants, construction projects, oil & gas facilities, and other industrial environments.
By the end of the training, you’ll be able to perform visual inspections independently, prepare professional inspection reports, support quality assurance activities, and make informed inspection decisions. Whether you’re looking to improve your current skills or take the next step in your NDT career, this course provides a strong foundation for long-term professional growth.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
After successfully completing the Visual Testing (VT) Level II course, you will have the confidence and practical ability to carry out professional visual inspections in industrial environments.
