Infrared Certifications Preparation Course

 

Level I Thermography training is a 32-hour online course. It prepares you for the Infrared Thermography certification in:

  • P/PM
  • Condition Assessment
  • Condition Monitoring
  • Quality Assurance
  • Forensic Investigations
  • Building Sciences.

 

This course covers infrared theory, heat transfer, and IR equipment. It includes standards compliance, image analysis, and report generation.

 

 

Students learn to spot and document IR thermal patterns. Poor design, quality, or material failures cause these. Infrared applications are:

  • Electrical distribution
  • Mechanical, steam, and refractory systems
  • Underground piping
  • Active thermography
  • Building envelopes
  • Flat roofs.

 

 

The self-directed learning activities provide students practical experience and do not require an infrared camera to complete this course. 

 

Course completion qualifies students to take the Infraspection Institute Certified Infrared Thermographer exam. Infrared certification exams are available at no charge at the annual IR-INFO Conference. For an additional fee ($350), students may take the infrared certification exams remotely via a secure video link or at authorized IR testing centers.

Accreditations:
This course is eligible for 32 NETA Continuing Technical Development Credits (CTDs). NETA Certified Technicians (Level III and IV) must earn 48 CTDs every three years to keep their certification.

 

The International Association approves a 32-hour course for Certified Home Inspectors. It counts as continuing education. It meets the training requirements for its Infrared Certified designation and logo.

 

The course is also approved for 32 Continuing Education Hours (CEH) by RCI, Inc.

 

The Certified Infrared Thermographer's Association (CITA) offers free Affiliate membership to all graduates of its Certified Infrared Thermographer® training program. This is the only online infrared thermography course that meets the ASNT SNT-TC-1A. It requires a 32-hour curriculum. No other company offers this type of course through distance learning.

 

Prerequisite: None

Testimonials:

"I think this is an outstanding class (Distance Learning Level I). The information is presented in an easy-to-understand format and with clarity. The class has helped me to put together an IR predictive maintenance program. I highly recommend this class to individuals entering this field." Laura J. Benbrooks - ALCOA

"One-of-a-kind training such as this is not available elsewhere. Years and years of work, research, and hands-on have put together a viable educational package worth every cent!" Ken Overstreet - Lockheed Martin

 

"The Distance Learning course was convenient and thorough. When I had a question, my instructor was happy to take the time to thoroughly answer my query. This is an excellent course." Sally - Brainerd Home Inspection Service

 

"I have obtained training online in the past and this course was presented more clearly than any other online training I have taken. Navigation made reviewing easy. I was extremely pleased with my distance learning experience." Ron Sangiancomo - Risk Management Solutions

 

"I’ve taken many courses in my 25+ years as an electrical supervisor.  I can’t think of one that was presented as well or supplied material matching the quality of Distance Learning course.  Excellent job!" Eric Stokka - Energy Doctors of Arizona, LLC
