Infrared Thermography Certification

ITC Infrared Thermography Certification is the gold-standard qualification within the thermography industry. ITC certification verifies that a thermographer can:

• Operate an infrared camera
• Collect quality data
• Produce professional infrared inspection reports
• Understand the techniques and limitations of infrared thermography for specific applications

ITC certifications exceed the requirements of international infrared certification standards. All ITC courses are developed and taught by ASNT-certified instructors with advanced academic degrees and extensive field experience.

To earn an ITC thermography certification, students must attend an infrared certification / training course, pass closed-book examinations and quizzes and submit a field assignment demonstrating understanding of their application and proper use of the infrared camera. ITC offers three levels of certification. Students maintain and advance their infrared certification through continuing education and further training.

ITC Infrared Certification Courses meet or exceed ASNT SNT-TC-1A guidelines. Level I certification and Level II certification training are both accredited by NETA (International Electrical Testing Association, an accredited standards developer for the American National Standards Institute, ANSI).

Certified ISO 9001 (International Organization for Standardization), ITC is committed to making sure students know how to use their cameras before they receive certification. In fact, ITC has more ASNT Level III thermal / infrared certified staff members than any other organization offering infrared thermography certification. In addition, ITC Latin America operates under the ITC Eurasia certification scheme for ISO 18436 (please see below).
