SA-3.1 BC-Course of DGZfP

Content and qualica5on objec5ves The module represents the basis of a Level 3 cer3ca3on in accordance to the German Society of NDT (DGZfP). It also applies to Level-2 inspectors as well as next genera3on leaders in the elds of inspec3on supervision, technical management, quality management or procurement ocers. Following the high responsibility of a Level 3 inspector this module targets at providing a solid basic knowledge regarding NDT. The module is run over four weeks and consists of lectures, presenta3ons and exercises where a profound insight will be provided into ten NDT methods including prac3cal applica3ons based on real world examples. Topics with regard to personnel, laboratory and materials management with respect to NDT are an add-on to be taught along the module as well.

Courses and teaching methods The module consists of three parts denoted as M1 to M3: Part 1: Basic Principles of NDT (10 days) Compact overview on 4 surface based and 2 volumetric based procedures (M1) Cer3ca3on of NDT-personnel in accordance to DIN EN 473 (M1) Materials science (M1) Part 2 + 3: Applica3on, Development, Organisa3on (5 + 5 days) Applica3on specic selec3on and applica3on of NDT procedures (M2) Comparisons and overviews; addi3onal and more recent NDT procedures (M3) ASNT cer3ca3on; accredita3on and laboratory organisa3on (M3) Teaching methods consist of lectures, hardware procedural presenta3ons, exercises with lab character,.
