Frequently Asked Questions

What is thermography certification?

The Snell Group Certification Standard follows the American Society of Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) guidelines for infrared training certification. The Snell Group instructors have served continuously on ASNT, ASTM, ISO, NETA, IEEE and NFPA committees, as well as several other national and international professional organizations.

The definition of certification is “written testimony of qualification,” and qualified is defined as “competent." To become qualified, you must gain knowledge and then apply that knowledge over a period of time to acquire the skills to properly perform the necessary task(s).

To become certified, you must prove your competence directly, in person, to an expert in the field who has the credentials necessary to evaluate your performance. To be certified under The Snell Group Certification Standard, you must show that you have not only have the required knowledge, but that you can prove proficiency with the equipment you are to use, whether it is an infrared camera or an electric motor tester, while done in person under proper testing conditions.

How thermographers get trained and certified

What is a Level 1 thermographer?

Level 1 training and qualification is ideal for those who are new to thermography. It will enable you to gather high-quality data and sort the data based on written pass/fail test criteria.

What is a Level 2 thermographer?

Level 2 is for thermographers who are experienced in thermography and troubleshooting. The level 2 training along with your prior experience qualifies you to set up and calibrate equipment, interpret data, create reports, and supervise Level 1-qualified personnel.

How do I get Level 1 or Level 2 thermography certification through The Snell Group?

The 4-day Level 1 Thermographic Applications and the 4-Day Level 2 Advanced Thermographic Application courses include the Snell Certification Standard: ASNT-TC1A compliant.

The other training courses The Snell Group provides prepares thermographers for the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT). Typically, an optional day is reserved after the training course for individuals with qualifying work experience who wish to take the certification exam.

Do I need to own a thermal camera to enroll in a course?

Courses are open to everyone regardless of whether or not you own a thermal camera. Attendees who have equipment are encouraged to bring their imager as there are a number of hands-on exercises during the training.

Do I need to have a specific brand of thermal camera to participate in the courses?

The Snell Group supports all types of thermal cameras, regardless of manufacturer.
