the principles and performance of the most common nondestructive tests
This course describes welding discontinuities and the science and application of visual testing (VT), penetrant testing (PT), magnetic particle testing (MT), radiographic testing (RT), and ultrasonic testing (UT). Topics include discontinuities and their causes, as well as the role of vision, capillary action, magnetism, radiation, and sound in VT, PT, MT, RT and UT respectively. The Science of Non-Destructive Testing is perfect for both students and welding professionals involved in inspection, supervision, or quality control.
The American Welding Society is accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) and is accredited to issue the IACET CEU.

Participants who do not attain the 75% passing score may attempt to retake the exam a second time. Participants who attain a score of 75% or more on the completion exam earn an AWS Certificate of Completion and 6 Professional Development Hours (PDHs). The AWS Certificate of Completion can be downloaded and printed directly from the webpage.
Do I need to purchase any other materials?
No. All the materials and resources necessary to complete the course objectives are included.
Do I receive Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for completing this course?
Yes. Participants who attain a score of 75% or above on the Completion Exam will receive an AWS Certificate of Completion and 6 Professional Development Hours (PDHs).
Can I use these Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for recertification?
Yes. Professional Development Hours (PDHs) earned through AWS online courses can be applied towards recertification provided the PDH’s are earned during the certification period.
Do I receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for completing this course?
Yes. Participants that receive a score of 75% or above on the Completion Exam will receive an AWS Certificate of Completion and 0.6 IACET Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
