MAGNETIC PARTICLE TESTING

PCN Level 3 Magnetic Particle Inspection

Duration: 4 days (28 Hours) min duration

Course Overview:

The coursed is designed to provide guidance for preparing MT LEVEL 3 examination as per PCN requirements for Pre and in-service inspection sector. The aim of this course is to ensure candidates understood the scope of the examination, theory concepts and procedure requirements as per CP 25.   On arrival, Mock test on the method is conducted and gap analysis report is prepared based on the outcome of mock test. This will also enable candidates to identify their weak subject areas. Training duration is decided based on the weak areas and candidate requirement.
