The Level II Infrared Thermography Training Course continues where Level I finished and provides more advanced training that focuses on strengthening and improving your thermography skills. Attendees will learn condition monitoring and predictive maintenance applications. Attendees completing Level II infrared course requirements and a thermography field assignment will receive an ITC Level II Thermography Certification. To take this training course, students must have successfully completed a Level I Thermography Training Course and have a minimum of six months field thermography experience.

Infrared Course Benefits:

• Reinforce your Level I Infrared Training concepts with refresher material covering the latest infrared camera, technology and thermal imaging application developments.
• Learn the basics of predictive maintenance thermography and overall infrared inspection program development. Learn to calculate avoided costs with Excel-based application software (included).
• Refine your image analysis and interpretation proficiency with in-depth thermal imaging survey and measurement techniques for predictive maintenance applications.
• Expand your thermography knowledge with new, more in-depth concepts in infrared theory, heat transfer and spatial resolution.
• Learn to measure emissivity of common materials.
• See the latest in infrared thermography report generation and IR inspection database and trending software.
• Improve your thermal analysis skills with more challenging laboratory and infrared field applications labs.
• Avoid costly mistakes - ITC experts review and explain the common misconceptions and misapplications of infrared thermography.
