What aspect is evaluated during examinations for Level I and Level II personnel?

The evaluation of Level I and Level II personnel primarily focuses on their comprehension of the training material. This ensures that personnel possess a solid understanding of the principles, techniques, and procedures relevant to their specific non-destructive testing (NDT) roles. A firm grasp of the training content is crucial for their effective performance and ability to apply what they've learned in practical situations.

While hands-on skill demonstration is important for confirming practical abilities and safety protocols are essential for ensuring safe practices in NDT, the core assessment at these levels emphasizes how well the personnel understand the theoretical aspects and foundational knowledge that underpin their work. This understanding is vital for interpreting results, making informed decisions, and adequately responding to challenges that may arise during inspections. Furthermore, industry knowledge, while beneficial, is typically assessed in a broader context and may be more relevant for higher levels of certification.
