Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes various
practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be
applied using our state-of-the-art equipment.
This course is developed by Haward Technology in order to
provide participants with the theoretical and practical training in
the subject and certify them as an “ASNT Level-I” in the following
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods:-
a) Ultrasonic Testing (UT)
b) Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
c) Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
The course is developed in compliance with the requirements of
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and The
American Society for Non-destructive Testing (ASNT) based on
the ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A for Personnel
Qualification and Certification in Non-destructive Testing.
At the completion of the course, participants will be appearing for
a Level I exam. Each candidate will be a “Certified ASNT NDT
Level-I in UT, MT & PT” upon successfully passing the
examination with a minimum passing composite grade of at least
80 percent (%) which will be administered and graded by Haward
Technology through its Certified ASNT Level-III instructors.
FE0725-8.5D - Page 1 of 14 .
Sample Questions for general examinations are presented in the separate question
booklets that can be obtained from ASNT International Service Center. Participants will
further demonstrate familiarity with and ability to operate the necessary equipment for
PT, MT and UT record and analyse the resultant information to the degree required as
well as test flawed specimen and component and analyse the results of NDT as part of
the practical training.
At the completion of the course, participants will be appearing for a Level I exam. Each
candidate will be a ‘Certified ASNT NDT Level I in Ultrasonic Testing, Magnetic Testing
and Liquid Penetrant Testing’ upon successfully passing the examination with a
minimum passing composite grade of at least 80 percent (%) which will be administered
and graded by Haward Technology through its Certified ASNT Level-III instructors.

The experience shall consist of time at NDT Level I or equivalent. If a person is being
qualified directly to NDT Level II with no time at NDT Level I, the experience (both Method
and Total NDT) shall consist of the sum of the hours for NDT Level I and Level II and the
training shall consist of the sum of the hours for NDT Level I and Level II.
