Infrared Thermography – Level 1
Course Description
Level I Certified Infrared Thermographer® is a five-day course for the application of qualitative thermal imaging for P/PM, Condition Assessment, Condition Monitoring, Quality Assurance, Forensic Investigations, and Building Sciences. This course covers infrared theory, heat transfer concepts, equipment operation and selection, standards compliance, image analysis, and report generation. Students are trained to identify and document thermal patterns caused by improper design, workmanship, or material failure. Specific applications include: • Electrical distribution systems, mechanical systems, steam systems, refractory systems, underground piping, active thermography, tanks, storages and building envelopes. This course is eligible for 35 NETA Continuing Technical Development Credits (CTDs). NETA Certified Technicians (Level III and Level IV) are required to earn a minimum of 48 CTDs every three years to maintain their certification. Course is approved by the InterNational Association of Certified Home Inspectors for 32 hours of continuing education and meets the training requirements for their Infrared Certified professional designation and logo. Course is also approved for 32 Continuing Education Hours (CEH) by the International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants (IIBEC).

Infraspection Institute is recognized by the Society for Maintenance & Reliability Professionals (SMRP) as an approved provider of continuing education and training aligned with key subject areas related to reliability and physical asset management.
