Pennsylvania College of Technology offers an associate degree in NDT and two competency credentials – one in ultrasonic inspection and the other in radiographic inspection. In this informative “virtual tour,” learn more about the exciting field, look inside Penn College’s lab spaces and see students using the up-to-date instrumentation.
“There are six major non-destructive testing methods used in industry that the student will master,” explains Mark N. Hurd, NDT and welding instructor.
“Today’s market is in great demand for non-destructive professionals.
