Level I/Category I Thermography Certification Training. Certified ISO 9001 in the training, education, and certification of professional users of thermal infrared systems.
Level I/Category I Thermography Certification Training
Learn everything you need to get started as an infrared thermographer the right way with the Infrared Training Center’s
Level I/Category I certification course, Fundamentals of Infrared Thermography.
In this certification course, you’ll learn how infrared cameras create and capture images, how to take accurate
temperature measurements with an infrared camera, and all of the foundational science you’ll need to get the most out
of your camera. Plus, you’ll discover how to conduct safe thermographic inspections in a variety of common use cases
and create basic reports so you can share your findings with team members, customers, and other stakeholders.
Based on established ISO 18436-7 and ASNT CP-105 guidelines, a Level I/Category I certification course gives you all the
tools you need to begin your journey as a safe, capable thermographer. A Level I/Category I certification allows you to
maximize your investment in infrared cameras and adds tremendous value to your organization or business.
Level I/Category I Topics Include:
• The factors that make thermal images look the way they do and how these factors influence temperature
measurement accuracy.
• Infrared image analysis and interpretation techniques.
• The basics of infrared science concepts such as emissivity, reflected apparent temperature, heat transfer, and
the influence of the atmosphere.
• Inspection technique fundamentals, including advice on data collection, how to approach different types of
inspections, and important safety considerations.
• Information to include in a report (per ISO 18434-1) and how to use thermal analysis software to quickly create
