Why Should You Attend Thermography Training
There are many motivations as individuals using infrared cameras. However, we can assure you that training is the smartest way to put your thermography future on solid ground.
- A training course is the fastest way to get to work – you become familiar with your equipment, the measurement parameters and the potential application.
- A training course is the fastest way to get the job right – you gain the necessary knowledge to avoid mistakes and presenting incorrect results.
- A training course is the fastest way to make a network – you will meet fellow thermographers and learn more about what the ITC community has to offer.
- A training course is the fastest way to become a professional – you benefit from the decades of field experience and knowledge of our instructors.
And of course, it is more fun to explore the thermal dimension with a group of likeminded people.
Why Get Certified
Infrared Thermography Certification establishes that an operator can:
- Effectively operate an IR camera and implement best practice inspection techniques
- Collect accurate and quality data for post processing analysis and documentation
- Avoid common new user mistakes and false interpretation/diagnosis of results
- Understand the full capabilities (and limitations) of IR technology
- Leverage IR for improved situational awareness and safety
ITCÂ Courses Offered by Inframatrix
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.
If you’re a certified Level I/Category I thermographer who is ready to take a deeper dive into the world of infrared imaging and inspections, Level II/Category II certification will give you the practical inspection knowledge needed to level up your thermography game.
Students in the Optical Gas Imaging Certification course will learn how to set up and operate optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras to ensure maximum proficiency.
Thermography involves more than just learning how to use an infrared camera. IR science, heat transfer, thermal tuning, emissivity, reflected apparent temperature and application knowledge are all essential subjects a thermographer must understand in order to properly interpret an image.
In-house/On-site training courses are the best way to accommodate large groups on a limited budget. Our instructors will travel directly to your facility which not only limits travel costs but keeps your staff onsite; reducing downtime and short-staff issues.
Why ITC
Increase credibility, enhance your career, and build your business. ITC is the world’s largest and leading infrared training and certification provided and the only one to be certified to the ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Standard – that’s why it’s considered the gold-standard of qualification among industry professionals.
ITC offers a vast array of application-focused courses from beginner to expert, so students never have to settle for a course that only meets some of their needs. Electrical and mechanical systems, building and roof applications, optical gas imaging, furnace inspection, SUAS and research and development course are among the classes available.
Our instructors are experts in the field, most of them are running their open thermography consulting. So they know what they talk about and they can give you valuable insight from the real world.
ITC certification training course are in line with the ISO 18436-7 standard and include comprehensive hands-on labs and workshops designed to engage and challenge the student. Recognizing the importance of student involvement, our instructors use live demonstrations and individualized labs to recreate real-world situations. Continued reinforcement of class topics helps students make the connection between thermal science and application practice. It is during these exercises that students learn how to get the most out of their thermal imager and discover its true value and capabilities.

ITCÂ Infrared Thermography Certification
ITC Infrared Thermography Certification is the gold-standard within the thermography industry. ITC certification verifies that a thermographer can:-
- Operate an infrared camera
- Collect quality data
- Produce professional infrared inspection reports
- Understand the techniques and limitations of infrared thermography for specific applications
- ITC certifications exceed the requirements of international infrared certification standards
- All ITC courses are developed and taught by ASNT-certified instructors with advanced academic degrees and extensive field experience.
To earn an ITC thermography certification, students must attend an infrared certification / training course, pass closed-book examinations and quizzes, and submit a field assignment demonstrating understanding of their application and proper use of the infrared camera.
Certified ISO 9001 (International Organization for Standardization), ITC is committed to making sure students know how to use their cameras before they receive certification. In fact, ITC has more ASNT Level II thermal/infrared certified staff members than any other organization offering infrared thermography certification.
The ITC quality management system for training, education, and certification of professional users of thermal infrared sensors and systems complies with SS-EN ISO 9001:2008. ITC, its staff, and its partners are active in the development of regional and international standards for the practice of thermography, and the certification of personnel working within thermography.
The ITC business model in Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America has been built upon ISO 18436 (Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines – Requirements for training and certification of personnel). Applicable parts include ISO 18436-1 (International Standards) (Requirements for certifying bodies and the certification process), ISO 18436-3 (Requirements for training bodies and the training process), and ISO 18436-7 (Thermography).
ITC Infrared Certification Courses meet or exceed ASNT SNT-TC-1A guidelines. Level 1 certification and Level 2 certification training are both accredited by NETA (International Electrical Testing Association, an accredited standard developer for the American National Standard Institute, ANSI).
