About this program
Everything from the bridge you use to the pipeline that brings gas to your home needs to be routinely monitored for safety and stability. Thanks to non-destructive techniques, certified inspectors can carefully identify defects in welded joints before they fail. In the associate’s in Non-Destructive Testing program, you’ll master the major non-destructive testing methods. Learn welding techniques in our newly expanded 55,000-square-foot-plus facility. And gain essential hours towards your American Society of Non-Destructive Testing (ASNT) certification.
