| Level 1 Thermography Course |
|
|
| Overview |
 |
The Level 1 Thermography Course has been designed for new users of Flir infrared cameras. However, much of the course content is also equally appropriate for both potential purchasers and those who require an in-depth understanding of measurement techniques and their practical applications.
The course itself is run by Flir Systems in conjunction with the Infrared Training Center (ITC), who are widely considered to be the world's finest infrared training certification organisation. Those attending this course will fast become effective, proficient and certified thermographers, thanks to instructors who are ASNT and ERPI Level 3 qualified.
