IMPORTANT: ASNT has two Magnetic Particle Testing Level I/II eLearning courses which consist of two products: a 20-hour and 32-hour course, of which the associated content is the same. If aligning to NAS-410 training requirements, learners will need to complete additional self-study and hands-on training along with the completing the associated 32-hour eLearning course. If aligning to SNT-TC-1A training requirements, learners can complete the associated 20-hour eLearning course. If you're looking for the 20-hour course, please visit the course page directly. 


Marty Anderson headshotAnderson graduated from the University of Alaska, with a certificate in welding technology and is nearing his AA. Anderson is the owner of Alaska Technical, a nondestructive training center in Soldotna, Alaska. Since 2003, Anderson has been on the Kenai Peninsula School Board (AASB’s Alaska School board of the year in 2011, and a national award for vocational training from NSBA in 2009), and he is part of the Alaska Workforce Investment Board, appointed by the Governor since 2009. Anderson is also active in the Alaska Section of ASNT. 

With twenty eight years of inspection and welding experience, Marty holds an IRRSP certification (radiation safety), six ASNT NDT level III Certifications (RT, UT, VT, MT, PT, and ML) as well as a Level III in coating inspection with National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) and Senior Corrosion Technologist rating. Marty is also certified as a Welding Educator, Senior Welding Inspector, and Radiographic Film Interpreter with the American Welding Society (AWS). With the American Petroleum Institute (API), Marty holds certifications 570 (in-service piping inspector) and 653 (above ground storage tank inspector).


Marty has taught in forty-seven states and seven countries on four continents over the last ten years. Industries he has taught in include, marine, aviation, petrochemical, pipeline, power generation, structural and highway/bridges.

Other certifications/qualifications previously held include Eddy Current Level II, Leak Testing Level II, Receipt/Vendor Inspector, and Quality Auditor.


Course description

This course covers topics such as:

  • Basic principles of magnetism
  • Magnetic particle testing theory
  • How to perform examinations with both portable and stationary equipment
  • Techniques used to perform MT
  • Procedures used to perform MT
  • Requirements of MT
  • How to interpret and evaluate test results

This course is useful for those pursuing a certification in NDT as well as for supervisors, auditors, and others interested in acquiring a comprehensive understanding of this unique test method.

As with PT, MT is usually performed in addition to a volumetric NDT. It is limited to those materials that can be effectively magnetized. Fine ferromagnetic particles are applied to the surface of the magnetized parts and align themselves in areas of magnetic flux leakage – indicating the presence of discontinuities. There are many techniques that make MT suitable for a wide range of parts with various shapes and sizes. MT can be performed with portable equipment or stationary systems. 

This course meets the recommendations for training as described in SNT-TC-1A.

NOTE: Please note the contact hours being awarded for this course.  To meet the training requirements in SNT-TC-1A, CP-189, and NAS-410, the student must complete the eLearning course and the necessary practical lab/hands-on sessions. These lab sessions must be overseen and documented by a Level III to ensure the required training hours are fulfilled.
