What is NDT

Non-destructive testing (NDT)

These are quality control methods that allow for the detection of discontinuities and material defects without damaging the tested component.

Training

Navi Academy conducts training in key NDT methods, preparing for work in real industrial conditions. 

The most popular non-destructive testing methods

Visual Testing (VT) is a non-destructive testing method that involves detecting surface discontinuities using an inspector's eyesight, without the use of expensive equipment. This method allows for the rapid detection of surface discontinuities such as cracks, pores, or corrosion pits.

Magnetic Testing (MT) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect surface and shallow subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials, utilizing a magnetic field and detection powders.

Penetrant testing (PT) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect very fine surface discontinuities open to the surface, utilizing the capillary action phenomenon.
It allows for precise localization of defects across a wide range of materials, including non-magnetic ones.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect internal discontinuities and assess material thickness and integrity, utilizing high-frequency ultrasonic waves.
Enables precise localization of defects in a material and evaluation of elements with significant thickness, without the use of ionizing radiation.

Radiographic Testing (RT) is a non-destructive testing method used to detect internal material discontinuities using X-rays or gamma radiation.
It enables the evaluation of weld quality, component integrity, and internal structure analysis without interfering with the tested object.

UTPA (Ultrasonic Testing Phased Array) research is an advanced ultrasonic technique that utilizes multi-transducer probes to enable electronic beam steering of the ultrasonic beam.
The technique allows for dynamic material scanning, beam focusing, and obtaining cross-sectional imaging, increasing the precision of discontinuity interpretation.

Why Navi Academy

Trainers' experience based on industrial practice

The training is based on practical experience gained in real industrial settings. It is conducted by experienced specialists working in Poland and abroad, and Navi Academy's substantive support is based on Navitest's 30 years of experience.

Training groups of up to 9 people

Working in small groups ensures constant contact with the trainer at every stage of the training. Participants can ask questions, discuss their own cases, and receive individual guidance, which facilitates understanding of the material and better preparation for the exam.

Knowledge that can be applied immediately

Level 1+2 training prepares for independent performance of NDT inspections in industrial settings. The program covers practical inspector tasks, such as interpreting indications, documenting inspections, and making technical decisions.

Consistency with ISO 9712 certification

The training programs are prepared in accordance with the requirements of PN-EN ISO 9712 and approved by the NDT Personnel Certification Body TÜV SÜD Polska. Participants are prepared for both the examination and for work according to the standard.

Theory and practice in one place

The training is conducted entirely at our headquarters in Gdańsk. Both the theoretical and practical parts take place in specialized training rooms, without the need to change location during the course.

Modern hardware infrastructure

The training courses are conducted using modern NDT equipment that complies with industry standards. Participants work with devices used in their daily jobs, including UV LED lamps and modern ultrasonic flaw detectors.

Exam and result on the same day

Information on the exam result is provided on the same day, without a long wait for a decision. The TÜV SÜD certificate is issued up to 30 days after the exam and sent by email, allowing for quick confirmation of qualifications and planning of further professional activities.
