Level I is typically designed for individuals who are qualified to perform specific NDT tasks under the supervision of a Level II or Level III technician. They are responsible for following established procedures and recording information.

Level II technicians, on the other hand, are expected to be more experienced and capable of setting up and calibrating equipment, interpreting results, and training Level I personnel. They also have the authority to make judgments about test results and are expected to understand and apply the relevant standards.
