Course Overview

Nondestructive testing (NDT) plays a critical role in safeguarding infrastructure, supporting national defense, and ensuring operational readiness across aerospace, energy, manufacturing, and defense sectors. Yet its strategic value is often misunderstood.

In this discussion featuring ASNT’s Faces of NDT ambassadors, we explore how NDT protects mission-critical assets, strengthens supply chain integrity, and reduces organizational risk through certified, competent personnel. The panel will discuss the importance of globally recognized certification standards, emerging technologies such as AI and advanced ultrasonics, and new workforce pathways shaping the future of the profession.

Attendees will gain insight into why NDT is not simply a compliance requirement, but a strategic capability essential to safety, reliability, and global competitiveness.

Upon Completion, Learners Will Be Able To:

  • Explain the strategic importance of NDT in aerospace, defense, infrastructure, and other mission-critical industries.
  • Describe how certified NDT personnel reduce organizational risk and support consistent, repeatable inspection outcomes.
  • Identify the role of international standards (e.g., ISO 9712, CP-189, SNT-TC-1A) in supporting global workforce mobility and cross-border operations.
  • Recognize emerging technologies and training models shaping the future NDT workforce, including AI-assisted analysis and simulation-based learning.
  • Evaluate key considerations for strengthening an NDT program through certification, recurrent training, and standards alignment.
