Level 1 Fundamentals of Thermography Certification
RSVP for our Upcoming Online Level 1 Training on September 10th-13th 2024
The Level I Infrared Thermography Training Course is geared to the new infrared camera user and focuses on its use for a variety of condition monitoring/predictive maintenance applications. Learn the basics of camera operation, heat transfer, and report writing. Attendees completing all training course requirements and a thermography field assignment will receive a Level I Infrared Thermography Certification.
In this certification course, you’ll learn how infrared cameras make and capture images, how to take accurate temperature measurements with an infrared camera, and all of the foundational science you’ll need to get the most out of your camera. Plus, you’ll discover how to conduct safe thermographic inspections in a variety of common use cases and create basic reports so you can share your findings with team members, customers, and other stakeholders. In short, a Level I/Category I certification gives you all the tools you need to begin your journey as a safe, capable thermographer, getting the most value out of your investment in infrared cameras and adding tremendous value to your organization or business.

- Analyze thermal images, prioritize anomalies and create simple reports using the latest infrared inspection software.
- Discover how to take simple temperature measurements of targets by learning the fundamentals of emissivity and reflectivity.
- Learn the core concepts of heat transfer and how it impacts both imaging and temperature measurement.
- Develop IR camera operation skills that are essential for collecting quality data with your thermal imager.
- Learn the fundamentals of thermal imaging for reliability maintenance, building envelope analysis and roof moisture applications. No previous experience necessary!
- Gain experience with hands-on exercises that build your foundational knowledge of camera operation while re-enforcing the concepts of heat transfer that are taught throughout the week
Required Course Materials
- IR Camera (OPTIONAL)– Students will be required to complete various labs & exercises throughout the duration of the course.
- Laptop– Certification Examinations will be administered electronically. Tablets are also acceptable.
- IR Reporting Software- Please have software installed prior to class. Software can be used to assist with many of the camera lab exercises
Please note that cameras are not provided during the training course, ff you have an IR camera you can utilize it for the training.

Specifically, we follow ASNT SNT-TC-1A & CP-105 for North American courses, BINDT CMGEN appB for United Kingdom classes, and ISO 18436 & 9712 for courses conducted in Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Our understanding of the importance of a quality education and our compliance with common NDT standards are just some of the reasons why Infrared Training Center certifications are recognized globally as the industry gold-standard.
Certification
No previous thermography experience or IR camera is required.
Students who complete all training course requirements receive a Level I infrared thermography certification and a seal of approval as a certified thermographer.
Level I learning objectives, contact hours, and written exam are based on requirements outlined by ANSI/ASNT CP-105 and CP-189 of the American Society for Non-Destructive Testing. As such, this course is suitable for use by your employer to certify you under ASNT’s Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A provided it is consistent with your employer’s Written Practice.
ITC Certification is the gold standard qualification within the thermography industry and exceeds the requirements of international standards.
