What is the role of a Level III in relation to NDT training?

The role of a Level III in NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) training is pivotal as this individual is responsible for developing training programs that are effective and relevant to industry standards. They are tasked with creating curriculum content, ensuring that the training addresses both theoretical knowledge and practical applications required for non-destructive testing.

Additionally, a Level III assesses the competence of personnel, ensuring that trainees achieve the required skill level and knowledge necessary to perform NDT operations safely and effectively. This involves evaluating their understanding of testing principles, methodologies, and the proper use of equipment and interpretation of results. This dual responsibility supports the overall quality and reliability of NDT practices within an organization.

Other roles, such as conducting tests exclusively or merely overseeing administrative tasks, do not encompass the full breadth of responsibilities assigned to a Level III. Similarly, while ensuring safety compliance is important, it is not the sole function of a Level III, as their primary focus revolves around training development and competence assessment.
