To qualify for the examination, candidates must have attended the course first, and have gained a minimum of experience in strain gauge measurement of about 1 to 2 months depending on the candidate’s educational qualifications.
Certification is extremely important as:
- It demonstrates your competency as a strain gauge engineer
- The accuracy of measurements greatly depends on the knowledge, skill and sensitivity of the measurement engineer.
The course and the examination are conducted in accordance with standard EN ISO 9712:2012 – Non-destructive testing – Qualification and certification of NDT personnel.
