Which of the following is not included in a Level I and Level II examination?

In a Level I and Level II examination, the focus is primarily on assessing the candidate's knowledge and understanding of the principles and practices of the specific nondestructive testing (NDT) method being evaluated. The general examination evaluates foundational knowledge across all aspects of NDT, while the specific examination delves into the details of the particular methods and techniques. Additionally, a practical examination allows candidates to demonstrate their hands-on skills and application of the knowledge they possess.

Research projects are not a component of the Level I and Level II examinations. These levels are primarily focused on direct application, knowledge assessment, and skill demonstration rather than on conducting original research. This makes the inclusion of research projects inappropriate for these examinations, as they aim to certify competency in established practices rather than assessing one's ability to generate new knowledge or innovations in the field.
