Certification
ASNT Certifica
‘There is one very big difference between the ASNT and ISO certification standards;
the ASNT certification is employerbased. In summary, your employer must have an
‘ASNT “written practice"; your employer must employ the services of a person
certified to Level Il; and if you begin work for another employer, you are no longer
certified,
n Process
Under the SNT-TC-1A Recommended Practice, it is the employer (or his outside
agency) that provides certification for Levels | and Il If the employer has hired the
services of an ASNT NDT Level Il individual, itis that individual who will be assigned
‘to administer the certification details in accordance with the employer's written
practice. Mobius Institute has a written practice, and thus we can be contracted to
deliver the training and certification under your employer's written practice,
There is overlap between the technical content and exam requirements for the ISO
18436.2 Category |, I, Il, and IV courses and exams, and the ASNT Level | I, and Ill
courses and exams.
Please note that ASNT Level I exams may only be conducted by the ASNT.
‘The Mobius Institute "Entry Level” course meets or exceeds the requirements for the
SO 18436.2 Category | and the ASNT Level | training and exam.
However, due to the nature of the ASNT Level I training outline (and exam), i is
required that both the "Intermediate" Category Il and " Advanced’ Category Ill
courses be taken. (itis common in the industry that two courses be taken to meet
the requirements of ASNT Level I.)
Exam format and pass-mark
ASNT Certification
‘The ASNT Level | and ll exams also use the multiple choice format.
‘The exam must have a specified number of "general* questions and "specific"
questions. For example, for Level Il t is 40 "general" questions and 60 "specific"
questions. ASNT requires a minimum 70% pass mark in each secticn, and an average
‘80% mark over both sections.
