Would you like to get acquainted with thermography, discover what a thermal imaging camera can do for your work, or learn how to take accurate measurements? Then our one-day Introductory Thermography Training is the perfect place to start. This training is held monthly at our training center in Drunen and is based on the guidelines of NEN-ISO 18436, the international standard for training thermographers.
The training combines clear explanations, practical examples and hands-on exercises, so that you immediately learn how to correctly create, analyze and apply thermal images in your own field.
This one-day introductory thermography training course is a compact summary of the full five-day ITC Level 1 course. While the ITC Level 1 course delves deeply into theory, standards, and exam requirements, this introductory course focuses on the essential fundamentals that every thermographer must master before conducting independent inspections.
You will learn the fundamental topics of ITC Level 1 in a practical, accessible and accelerated format, so that you can:
