Supporting the delivery of Level 3 PAUT training and PCN examinations in South Africa

Earlier this year, our Group Technical Manager and Level 3 Consultant, Kristian Hampson, supported the delivery of a Level 3 Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) course in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Collaborating with the African NDT Centre (ANDTc) LTD, this training equipped students with essential knowledge and skills, preparing them to undertake examinations to the PCN (ISO 9712) certification scheme.

The course attracted participants aiming to enhance their expertise and achieve a globally recognised Level 3 PAUT qualification. Training covered a comprehensive range of topics, focusing on the inspection of general engineering materials, components, and fabrications in both pre-service and in-service settings across various sectors.

Based in Constantia Kloof, Roodepoort, ANDTc offers a broad selection of accredited NDT courses to professionals in South Africa. Since 2017, we have collaborated with ANDTc to provide Level 2 PAUT and TOFD examinations. More recently, they have expanded their offering to include Level 3 PAUT training and PCN examinations.

Meeting industry’s growing demand for competent NDT Professionals

With the industry’s ongoing advancements, the demand for highly skilled, competent NDT professionals continues to grow, emphasising the importance of comprehensive training programmes. These programmes not only enhance individual career growth but also enhance safety, reliability, and operational efficiency across industries worldwide. By creating a community of knowledgeable and competent NDT professionals, we are helping to raise the bar for quality and innovation in the field.

Our first PAUT Level 3 class was filled with leaders from the South African NDT industry, the very best South Africa has to offer and having such esteemed candidates led us to partner with Argyll Ruane to ensure the best possible training. This collaboration proved to be the best route as our students were all highly impressed with the level of training received along with the seamless integration with our systems. ANDTC, our students and staff could not be happier with the way things worked out and we look forward to our continued relationship with Argyll Ruane.

Ismail Mahomed, General Manager, ANDTc
