Course Overview

The Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT) Level I & II course is designed to provide participants with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to detect surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials using magnetic particle inspection techniques. Through a combination of classroom instruction and practical exercises, participants will learn how to perform inspections, interpret indications, and apply industry best practices in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT).
