Core factors that affect eddy current response and interpretation
Foundational concepts that support surface and tubing applications
A stronger technical base before moving into Level II topics
“" Awesome Eddy Current knowledge". The "Wikipedia" of all things, Eddy Current. I reached out to Ed on a whim and inquired about possible specific training. After gathering some basic info about myself and my training goals, we scheduled a time. Ed was very accommodating to my training goal. Was able to cover this training over a weekend without having to take many days off from my full time job. I would highly recommend Ed for your training needs....Thanks again Ed!”

“"Ed’s Eddy Current Level II (Surface and Tubing) Course is a fantastic resource for current and prospective ET Level II Technicians. Coming from the Air Force, I was able to expand my knowledge base and hone in on concepts like Phase Lag and sectors of ET I haven’t had experience with like tubing inspections. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a straight-forward and in-depth course to prepare for certification".”

Yes. Level I is designed as a foundational course for technicians and professionals who are new to eddy current testing or want to strengthen their understanding of the fundamentals before moving into more advanced training.
The course covers core eddy current principles including magnetism, electric current theory, electromagnetic induction, eddy current properties, and depth of penetration, along with foundational concepts relevant to surface and tubing applications.
The course supports employer-based training requirements and is aligned with ASNT CP-105 and NAS410 training expectations. Certification is conducted according to employer written practices.
Answer this based on how the Thinkific product is configured. If it’s lifetime access, say so. If it’s limited, say exactly how long.
If you’re new to eddy current testing or need a stronger understanding of the fundamentals, Level I is the recommended starting point before progressing into Level II.
