Visual Testing Instructor Guide l FOREWORD
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
visual 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.

However, the Student Guide does not contain the Quiz Keys that are found at the end of this publication.
Nor does the Student Guide contain the downloadable PowerPoint® presentation.
