Destructive and Non-Destructive Testing Pathway
Overview
Non-destructive testing is used in a wide range of industries including manufacturing, fabrication, oil and gas as well as transportation. This pathway covers inspection techniques used to pro-actively identify faults that could lead to product failure and or public or environmental safety.
