Infraspection Institute training

Level I Certified Infrared Thermographer® is a four-day course for the application of qualitative thermal imaging for P/PM, Condition Assessment, Condition Monitoring, Quality Assurance, Forensic Investigations, and Building Sciences. This course covers infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, equipment operation and selection, standards compliance, image analysis, and report generation. Students are trained to identify and document thermal patterns caused by improper design, workmanship, or material failure. Specific applications include: electrical distribution systems, mechanical systems, steam systems, refractory systems, underground piping, active thermography, building envelopes, and flat roofs. Students are encouraged to bring their own imager for individualized training or to learn how to use it more effectively.

Level II Certified Infrared Thermographer® is a four-day course for the application of quantitative thermal imaging and temperature measurement for P/PM, Condition Monitoring, Quality Assurance, and Forensic Investigations. This course covers advanced infrared theory, equipment calibration, error sources, cross-verification with contact thermometers, advanced equipment operation, use of windows and filters, assigning temperature limits and repair priorities, and quantitative report generation.  Students are encouraged to bring their own imager for individualized training or to learn how to use it more effectively. Course tuition includes all course presentations, Student Reference Manual, and Infraspection Institute Certified Infrared Thermographer® exam. Certification card and diploma issued with passing grade of 80%. This course is eligible for 35 NETA Continuing Technical Development Credits (CTDs). NETA Certified Technicians (Level III and Level IV) are required to earn a minimum of 48 CTDs every three years to maintain their certification.

IR Thermography for Optical Gas Imaging is a 12 hour theory and application course for the use of thermal imaging to detect and document thermal patterns associated with gas leaks and venting. This is a specialty certification course focused on a single application. This course covers infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, equipment selection and operation, detectable gases, inspection procedures, image analysis, report generation, and standards compliance. Students are trained to identify and document thermal patterns caused by gas leaks or gas venting for several types of gases including hydrocarbons, Sulphur Hexafluoride, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Ammonia, and Refrigerants. Self-directed learning activities are provided to help students gain practical experience; however, one need not have a camera to successfully complete the course. Course tuition includes 24 hour access to all online course presentations, Student Reference Manual, online quizzes, proof of course completion, final exam fee, and free ground shipping of course materials to continental US. Student must complete training within 60 days of registration.

Infrared Body Temperature Screening is a 5 unit theory and application course for the use of thermal imaging to detect elevated body temperature in humans. This is a specialized course focused on a single application. Course is equivalent to a five hour classroom course with a two hour period allotted for the online exam at the end of the course. Course completion may be applied toward training requirements for Infraspection Institute Level I, II, or III thermographer certification.
