Training in ATG Group is performed in well-equipped classrooms using modern technologies of presentation, own handbooks and practical exercises with laboratories, company-prepared handbooks, real-life samples provided from company’s partners from operation and experienced lecturers with individualistic approach to the trainees to maximize the added value of the training.
Professional training should provide strong background in theory that enhances the practical abilities by real understanding of the problem. ATG Group provides its own handbooks, which reflect 30 years of experience on the market. All handbooks use the most renowned sources (as ASM and ASNT handbooks) and are always practically oriented, providing both physical background and manual for in-practice operation. Handbooks are also reflecting the content of general part of the tests in partners’ Examination Centers.
Each NDT operator must be able to work correctly with related standards and internal documentation. In each method experienced lecturers of ATG Group help to facilitate the understanding and importance of NDT standards and specifications to trainees (or other for different qualification systems as Welding Inspections, Plant and Third Party Inspections) by teaching them how to use the standards and internal specifications properly and highlighting the key aspects of most widely used standards for each method and system.
For Employer qualification systems ATG Group uses the Customer’s internal company documentation and specifications directly to bring the training as close to the operation in practice as possible, following precisely the requirements of the Customer’s Written Practice.
Fully equipped laboratory for each system and method is available for practical part of the training, including modern NDT equipment and NDT systems (FPI lines, MPI benches, UT manipulators etc.) from ATG Special Process House (i.e. representative to production program) and all necessary probes, gauges, test blocks etc. In total, there is over 1 200 training samples available for the practical part of the training to ensure trainees will have enough opportunities to handle the method well for the practical part of the test and get sufficient basic experience for right further development. Samples are selected to provide various types of defects that the operator may encounter in operation in various industrial sectors.
