FAQs:
- Question:
Will all the certificates that I have received up to this point
have any future value? Will I have to take further examinations
to qualify either as an ASNT Level I, II, or III?
 Answer:
All the formal training received so far definitely has value.
So does documented proof of each individual’s hands-on
experience in the VA field. At present, under the SNT-TC-1A
(1996) Recommended Practice, it is the employer (or his outside
agency) that provides certification for Levels I and II. If
the employer has hired the services of an ASNT NDT Level III
individual, normally it is that individual who will be assigned
to administer the certification details in accordance with the
employer’s written practice. You do not have to start
over.
- Question:
If I have many years documented Vibration Analysis, formal training,
and certifications from a noted training organization, can I be
"grandfathered" in as ASNT Level III?
Answer:
No. "Grandfathering" ended in February, 1977. All
persons desiring a certificate of qualification from ASNT must
meet certain prerequisites. First, they must apply for certification.
The application will request documented proof of experience,
education, training, etc. Since the ASNT Level III analysts
may be required to perform administrative duties, they must
pass an ASNT Level III Basic examination (covering basics of
several NDT or PDM technologies); plus they must pass an ASNT
Level III Vibration Analysis examination (135 multiple-choice
questions; closed book).
