FAQ

Answers - to the most asked questions

 

Why would I be interested in taking an online course for a full NDT/NDE theory course? 


Our online course is more than competitive at a price of $699 USD. Secondly, you do not have to travel, lose work-time or pay for a hotel – if attending a one or two week classroom seminar.   Thirdly, we provide a 1 on 1 Instruction and you are not confined to the 8-5pm, Monday to Friday routine – with a ‘do or die’ final exam. If you don’t pass on your first examination attempt with WorldSpec , we allow you to re-study the specific problem areas and re-write a test – whenever you are ready. Lastly, and most uniquely, WorldSpec guarantees success in each and every course – or your money back.


Will I be fully certified when I complete my course(s)?


No, typically, training is only part of the requirements for full certification.  Experience, eye examinations and other practical training, as defined in the Standard used or the employer's Written Practice, must be met as a prerequisite to certification.  A signed, authorized course completion certificate will be issued to all who pass the course.

Although we do not directly certify students who use our online courses, we can issue certifications to companies who hire us as an outside agency.  This can be done through our NDT Level III program, which will allow us to issue certifications based on the company's Written Practice.
