Visual weld inspection training VT w Level 2

Visual inspection of welded joints is the most evident method within the field of non-destructive testing. It is the simplest and most natural method to examine if the welded joint complies with the applicable standards. The examination must be carried out by qualified personnel who are able to inspect according to the applicable standard(s), have the necessary skills and can draw up reports.
Visual inspections can be carried out at 3 phases during the welding process: before, during and after welding, each time with the necessary emphasis. The five-day Visual Welding Inspector training course provides insight into all aspects of visually assessing welds and meets all the final requirements of the ISO 9712 standard.

Theory + Practice
Training consists of 5 days of training that consist of both theoretical and practical lessons.

Keep an eye on this page or our social media for a date of the next Visual Welding Inspector level 2 training.

For more info and prices regarding the training please contact via email.

Lessons
The theoretical classes are taught by experienced welding engineers who are also VT level 2 certified. The practical classes are given by experienced VT level 2 welding inspectors who will teach you tips and tricks of the job.
For visual welding inspector training, Smartweld Center has partnered with DWK Welding Solutions (https://dwk-welding.be/).

Quality
DNV-GL Certification B.V. issues the certificate ISO 9712 Visual Welding Inspector VT-w level 2 upon passing the exam and fulfilling the requirements. The DNV certificate is accredited by the Council of Accreditation in accordance with ISO 17024. After the last day of the course there is an immediate opportunity to take the ISO 9712 VTw-2 exam.

Smartweld Center kit for visual inspection
Following the ‘Visual Weld Inspection’ training course, Smartweld Center is offering its own inspection kit for sale.
This kit consists of all the necessary measuring instruments to verify that any type of weld meets all the necessary requirements.

Verification of certified welders

Manufacturers sometimes need the help of external, certified welders with certificates. We can double check the skills of your external welders through a simple welding test (with immediate RT or UT verification) according to their certificate(s) before welding begins in your production. This way of working guarantees that the quality of the external welders is sufficient and avoids further problems in your production.

Subsidies

Smartweld Center is a registered service provider, which means that the trainings offered are entitled to additional subsidies from the Flemish SME Portfolio and/or MTech+. Click on the button on the right for more info.

Smartweld Center also cooperates with Syntra, so that the registrations and subsidies of the welders’ training courses are also offered through them. Click the button on the right for more info.
