The Level 1 Certification provides a comprehensive introduction to infrared thermography, equipping you with the skills to operate infrared cameras, interpret thermal images, and identify issues such as equipment malfunctions, design flaws, or material defects in electrical, mechanical, and building systems. Key topics include the principles of infrared theory, heat transfer, camera operation, thermal image analysis, and recognizing thermal patterns across various applications.

The Level 2 Certification builds on the foundational knowledge from Level 1, focusing on more advanced thermography techniques. You’ll learn how to perform accurate temperature measurements, calibrate equipment, manage potential sources of error, and use contact thermometers for validation. This level also emphasizes producing in-depth reports that include temperature thresholds, repair recommendations, and maintenance priorities.

The Level 3 Certification is intended for professionals responsible for managing or overseeing infrared thermography programs. This course focuses on best practices, program development, and long-term sustainability, ensuring that participants can confidently oversee effective and standards-compliant thermography operations.

What you will learn

  • Infrared theory and heat transfer concepts
  • Equipment operation, calibration, and selection
  • Image analysis and interpretation
  • Identifying and diagnosing issues in electrical, mechanical, and building systems
  • Generating detailed and quantitative reports for maintenance and troubleshooting

Who can join

  • Level 1: Ideal for maintenance professionals, building inspectors, engineers, safety officers, and those involved in asset management or condition monitoring, especially in electrical, mechanical, and construction industries.
  • Level 2: Designed for individuals who have completed Level 1 or have equivalent infrared thermography experience. This course is suited for advanced thermographers, engineers, technicians, and professionals involved in predictive maintenance and quality assurance.
  • Level 3: Designed for senior thermographers, engineers, maintenance managers, reliability professionals, and technical staff who are responsible for managing, supervising, or developing infrared thermography programs. Ideal for those who have completed Level 2 (or have equivalent experience) and want to lead inspection teams, implement best practices, ensure compliance with industry standards, and integrate thermography into long-term maintenance, reliability, and asset management strategies.
