I. Introduction to the Radiographic Testing Instructor Package
The materials in this training package are designed to provide basic knowledge of the fundamentals of
radiographic testing. The program that you are teaching should provide 40 hours of organized training for
Level I and an additional 40 hours for Level II to present 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 Radiographic Classroom Training
Book (second edition). Level II training will include lectures on all 16 chapters, with emphasis on chapters 7
through 16.
Information is presented on the radiographic techniques of digital and computed radiography (Chapter
15) and computed tomography (Chapter 16). Lessons based on these chapters are optional, depending on the
needs of the class.
To meet the guidelines for Level I and Level II, the instructor should encourage additional outside
reading and classroom discussions, and should present personal information to elaborate on the lecture
guideline. The training program can be easily expanded based on the instructor’s experience and expertise.
The material in this course is formatted for use in a typical classroom training setting with an ideal class
size of 5 to 25 students. The instructor will lecture on all lessons with the aid of the PowerPoint® lecture
presentation.
II. Contents of Training Packages
The instructor should be familiar with all materials in both the Student and Instructor Packages before
attempting to teach the course. This course is designed to provide a maximum amount of learning with a
minimum amount of preparation by the instructor. The following breakdown of the materials and their
functions should be carefully studied.
