3. The quiz questions in this package are not intended for use in total certification of nondestructive testing
personnel. They are simply teaching tools to aid the instructor in presenting the material. If examination
for certification is needed, it is suggested that the instructor obtain a copy of SNT-TC-1A or ANSI/ASNT
CP-189 as applicable and follow those recommendations or requirements.
4. If the instructor so chooses, the quiz results could be used to arrive at a percentage score that could
be recorded on the student’s certificate of completion along with the number of course hours and/or
continuing education unit credits.
VI. Demonstrations and Lab Exercises
1. It is highly recommended that the instructor make every effort to provide the student with some practical
experience in radiographic testing. The depth of practical exercises will depend on time, equipment, and
facilities available to the instructor.
2. The instructor should use whatever resources are available to collect sample parts that represent a variety
of discontinuities.
3. If time, equipment, and facilities are available, each student should be given as much hands-on
experience as possible. Where practical, a variety of lab stations should be set up, each with a different
radiographic testing process. The student should then be rotated through each station with as many
resource people as possible and/or available to help answer specific questions.
4. Where the instructor finds that all students are from a specific type of industry, the demonstrations and
lab work should be designed accordingly.
VII. Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
ASNT recommends that the instructor consider offering CEUs to participants using this nondestructive
training program. A form must be filled out requesting CEU credit each time this course is given, and must
include specific details regarding performance evaluation and contact hours. One CEU is given for each 10
contact hours of participation in an approved nondestructive testing training program.
Please contact ASNT at (614) 274-6003 or (800) 222-2768 for additional information regarding CEUs.
