I. Introduction to the Magnetic Particle Testing Student Guide
The materials in this training package are designed to provide basic knowledge of the fundamentals of
magnetic particle testing. The training program that you are participating in will contain the following
classroom hours of instruction to learn the information suggested in the ASNT publication Recommended
Practice No. SNT-TC-1A: Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing.
Level I training will include lectures on chapters 1 through 6 in the Magnetic Particle Testing Classroom
Training Book, with an average of approximately 1–2 hours per lesson. Level II training will include lectures
on all 15 chapters with an average of approximately 1–2 hours per lesson, with emphasis on chapters 7
through 15.
The student shall assume the responsibility for reading all assignments to include the Magnetic Particle
Testing Classroom Training Book, as well as additional reference materials associated with the Student Guide,
attending all lectures, and participating in classroom discussions. Short exams will be administered after each
lesson to provide students with an indicator of their progress and to stimulate study.
II. Contents of Training Package
