Overview

NDT Visual Testing Level 2 Practice Training Course is a one-week intermediate programme for NDT technicians, inspectors, welding personnel, and quality teams who need a Visual Testing Examination Pack. Participants connect vision and lighting, optics, direct and remote techniques, equipment checks, surface preparation, discontinuity characterization, measurement, governing acceptance criteria, work instructions, and traceable reporting. Level 2 describes the depth of practice only; completion does not confer certification, employer authorization, or independent acceptance authority. Agile Leaders Training Center delivers this visual-testing practice course.

Who Should Attend

NDT technicians developing intermediate visual-testing practice
Welding inspectors reviewing joints before, during, and after welding
Quality personnel responsible for inspection records and traceability
Maintenance inspectors examining accessible components and surfaces
Supervisors reviewing technique selection, instructions, and reports

Participants should understand basic materials, manufacturing, welding, and inspection safety. Formal qualification, vision testing, experience, examination, and employer authorization remain separate requirements.

Departments and Industries

The course supports fabrication, welding, manufacturing, energy, oil and gas, utilities, transport, and maintenance environments.

Non-destructive testing and inspection
Welding and fabrication quality
Maintenance and asset integrity
Manufacturing and supplier quality
Projects and technical assurance

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Explain visual-testing principles, scope, limitations, and responsibility boundaries
Evaluate vision, lighting, contrast, resolution, and access conditions
Select direct or remote techniques and verify equipment readiness
Characterize, measure, and record visible surface indications
Apply written instructions and governing acceptance criteria without exceeding authority
Prepare a traceable Visual Testing Examination Pack

Course Agenda

Day 5: Evaluation, Instructions, and Reporting

Procedure, Work Instruction, Drawing, and Acceptance-Criteria Traceability
Indication Characterization and Acceptance Decision Boundary
Sketch, Photograph, Location Map, Measurement, and Essential-Variable Record
Finding Classification, Report Review, Escalation, and Supervisor Sign-Off
Capstone Exercise: Visual Testing Examination Pack

Practical Exercises

Guided activities convert examination conditions and visible evidence into controlled inspection records.

Verify lighting, viewing distance, access, and equipment readiness
Select a direct or remote visual-testing technique
Characterize and size visible surface indications
Apply a supplied acceptance criterion within stated authority
Prepare and review a Visual Testing Examination Pack

FAQs

Does this course provide NDT Level 2 certification?

No. It provides intermediate practice only. Certification, experience, vision, examination, and employer-authorization requirements remain separate.

Are direct and remote visual techniques covered?

Yes. Participants compare access, optics, equipment, image quality, limitations, and evidence for both approaches.

Does the course cover weld inspection?

Yes. It reviews joint preparation, in-process observations, final weld surfaces, dimensions, indications, and records.

Can participants make acceptance decisions after the course?

Only within the authority, procedure, criteria, and supervision assigned by their organization. The course itself grants no authority.

What will participants take back to work?

A Visual Testing Examination Pack containing condition checks, technique selection, equipment records, indication data, evaluation traceability, and a report.

Conclusion

Participants return able to plan and document visual examinations, select suitable techniques, evaluate visible evidence against assigned criteria, and escalate decisions that exceed their authority.
