• Detecting corrosion, wear, or cracks before they escalate.
• Assessing compliance with manufacturing or safety standards.

Main Advantages

• Simple and cost-effective.
• Can be applied to a wide range of materials and structures.
• No specialized equipment is required for basic inspection.
• Provides immediate feedback on visible flaws.

Disadvantages

• Limited to surface defects; cannot detect subsurface issues.
• Accuracy depends on the inspector’s skill and experience.
• May require additional testing methods for deeper analysis.

Target Audience

• NDT Operators
• QA/QC Professionals
• Engineers and Technicians
• Welding Inspectors and Supervisors

Award

Participants who successfully complete both practical and written assessments will receive a certificate demonstrating their proficiency in Visual Inspection techniques and compliance with industry standards.
